Our Story

Every story starts somewhere. Legacies In Ink’s began in 2004 when Judith Kolva finished her Ph.D. in the psychology and practice
of personal history.

Judith says, “I’m a professional personal historian. Legacies In Ink is my business, but it’s not my job. It’s my passion—my gift to the world.
My team travels worldwide
to preserve multigenerational family stories and business histories
in priceless, limited edition heirloom books.”
