Who Are We?
Irit Filipovich – Senior Archivist and Founder of Family PastPort
As an archivist, I have dedicated most of my professional life to the craft of documentation. Having led the Archives Division at Yad Vashem and managed leading companies in the fields of archiving and information management, I learned that behind every piece of information, document, or photograph lies an entire world of emotion, identity, and human history.
For me, an archive is not merely a collection of papers, but a living mosaic of human destinies and a living bridge between the past and the future. The experience I have gained in knowledge management allows me to approach the task of family documentation with the highest professional standards.
The combination of my professional experience with the visual digital tools we employ enables us to offer you a moving experience and family documentation tailored to you: from heritage films and roots books, to light and accessible technological solutions that immortalize the family memory.
At Family PastPort, I bring all the knowledge I have accumulated to ensure that your story is documented and told, so that future generations will know where they came from and carry your name with pride.

Our Mission
At FAMILYPASTPORT, we believe that every family is a collection of precious stories, defining moments, and memories that must be preserved. Our mission is to make the family documentation process accessible, dignified, and moving – so that every generation can pass on its heritage with ease and confidence.
We believe that every family carries a unique story – a story of love, perseverance, immigration, revival, and dreams. We document your family story with sensitivity and professionalism, transforming living memories into a written and visual legacy that will be passed down from generation to generation.
Through personal interviews, in-depth archival research, and artistic editing, we build a living bridge between the past, present, and future of your family.
We accompany families with care and help them document the meaningful milestones in their lives – from photo albums to official documents – before time passes. We consider it a privilege to be partners in your journey, and to provide you with peace of mind and the certainty that everything is properly documented.
Through six dedicated services, we provide a comprehensive suite of family documentation solutions, combining professionalism, reliability, and genuine human warmth.
