If you contribute many photos, stories, documents, and audio files to FamilySearch, your gallery can become so full that it is difficult to manage. To declutter your gallery, you can move memories to your archive.
When you archive memories, they remain online for others to see. If you have tagged them to a person in Family Tree, the tag remains, and other users can still see the memories. The only change is that you no longer see the memory in your gallery.
From the archive, you can view and work with your memory items. You can also move items back to your gallery.
