Custom site rebuild with a members-only area

Start with the story behind the archive.

01 / THE FOUNDATION

The foundation’s history and purpose give context to a large body of family material. The homepage introduces that work and points visitors toward the people, collections and activities behind it.

Published Familienstiftung Stedman archive page with categories for its historical collections.
Published archive reference: collection categories that informed the rebuild’s information structure.

Give different collections a clear route.

02 / THE ARCHIVE

The site groups documents, images, library material and biographies under a dedicated archive, with separate information for people planning to use it. This gives each collection a recognisable place without flattening the archive into one long page.

Published members-area gate. Only the access screen is shown; private member content is not exposed.

Keep family resources in their own space.

03 / MEMBERS

A restricted members’ area holds family-specific resources and gathering information. A quiz and direct contact routes add lighter ways to explore and get in touch alongside the archival material.
