The Glass Files is a private family media network. On theglassfiles.com (http://theglassfiles.com/) members can upload images and text, tell their family story, create families and invite members to them, and share media with their families, the community and the world.

Our business relies on a monthly subscription to provide an intimate, immersive, ad-free experience that enables customers to build a library of family knowledge and impart meaning for generations to come.

Born of 9 hours of footage and a profound drive to celebrate my grandfather's legacy, our site is the first true web documentary system, that invites every family to share their heritage and to connect their story to world History.

Available on the web and your tablet for now, our mobile app is in development along with the ability to upload any media type - including audio and video - coming soon!

Cheers,

Ilana + Dan
