Alumni Photo Collection
Bring your alumni’s photos back to campus
Reunions, traditions, teams, and old haunts: your graduates hold the pictures. Give them one link to add them to a shared Collection, with the class year and the names.

$229/year for a 12-month collaborative workspace from EventPix.photo. $179/year for verified nonprofits and schools.
Room for ~25,000 photos (100 GB). Videos and large scans use more, and you can add storage anytime.
Every reunion ends with photos that scatter again
Alumni show up with albums and phones full of history, and it all disappears the moment the reunion ends. A Collection keeps it. Graduates add photos and their class year from anywhere, your team sorts them by year and tradition, and the archive grows with every reunion instead of starting over.
Organize by class year and tradition
A folder structure for alumni work, ready to fill: class years, reunions, and the traditions that define your school.
A team effort, over months
Hand roles to your alumni committee. Your team curates in the same Collection for the whole project, not just reunion weekend.
A graduate’s years, in one place
Tag photos by class year so one person’s pictures group together across the decades. Publish a gallery or run a slideshow at the next reunion.

How a Collection works
Share one link
Anyone with the link adds photos and videos from their phone or computer. No app, no account to create. Their uploads land in one place for your team to sort.
Add the stories
Every photo can carry the year, the names, and a short description. Contributors add what they remember; your curators fill in the rest.
Organize as a team
Sort photos into folders, tag them, approve what belongs, and hand roles to the people helping. Your whole team works in the same Collection for the project.
Publish and download
Show the folders you choose as a gallery or a slideshow, and download the whole archive with a spreadsheet of every detail. What you download is yours to keep.
The workspace is where your team collaborates for the year. The archive you download is yours to keep: every photo at original quality, plus a spreadsheet of the details.
Common questions
Most of our photos are old prints. Can we still add them?
Yes. Take a photo of the print with your phone, laid flat in good light, or upload a scan. It goes in with the same year, names, and description as any other photo. Many contributors photograph a whole album page, then add the details afterward.
Who on our committee should own the account?
Have one committee member own the Collection and invite the others as curators. When the committee turns over between reunions, ownership can be transferred to the next lead, so nothing is stranded on one graduate’s personal email.
How is this different from a shared drive or group album?
A shared drive holds files. A Collection also holds the context: the year, the names, and the story behind each photo. Your team can sort, tag, and approve together, so you end up with an organized archive, not a folder of mystery photos.
Do contributors need an account?
No. You share a link, they add photos, videos, and details from any phone or computer, and their uploads arrive for your team to review. The owner, admins, and curators sign in to organize; contributors just use the link.
How long do we have access, and does it renew?
A Collection is a 12-month collaborative workspace: you can upload, organize, publish, and export the whole time. Renew to keep the workspace going year after year. Your archive carries forward instead of starting over. If you decide not to renew, there’s a grace window after the term where the owner and curators can still download everything before the workspace closes.
