A gift to the nation: Archival books honouring WW2 veterans

On 7 November 2018, Momento Pro and the Australian Institute of Professional Photographers proudly donated an archival inkjet printed book to the National Library of Australia, to commemorate the ‘Reflections Project – Honouring our WWII Veterans.’

Our presentation of the AIPP Reflections books to the National Library of Australia last Wednesday, will go down in Momento’s history as one of our most memorable experiences. Geoff, James and Libby were intensely proud to handover two large leather-bound archival books in the presence of 14 veterans and their families, and seeing the look of joy and gratitude on their face as they found their portrait among the pages, was priceless.

Learn how to design and sell wedding albums at The Album Atelier workshop in Sydney, 24 and 25 June 2017, to increase your profit, reduce your work hours and provide a lasting record that your couples deserve.
