Before Signing Up
In order to be able to add content to Scribas, you need to be registered with the site. Before signing up, you can still enjoy the memory-related content posted by our members, including:
Scribas Flashbacks - videos , photos and audio content that will bring you back and get the memory juices flowing.
Memory Pages - Each Memory Page acts as a source of memories for one town , one school , one military unit/base , one team , even one TV show . Pages from all over Scribas can be attached to each Memory Page
Scribas Blog - Our members' own blogs, full of recollections, stories and anecdotes from their past and present.
Forum - Members exchange tales and ask questions relating to memories. Who was that teacher? Who used to run that bar? What used to be opposite the bank?
Groups - Like-minded Scribas members join together in a variety of mini-communities. Here you'll find people from the same hometown, the same school, the same occupation, the same hobbies, even the same likes (..or pet hates!).

After Signing Up
Once you've signed up to Scribas, here are some of the things you might like to do:
Fill out your profile. A complete profile is very important because it will allow you to find other Scribas members who, for example, come from the same town, state or country, went to the same school or college as you, was at school in the same town in the same period as you, and so on. It will also allow those same members to find you more easily too.
Begin your Scribas Blog. Every Scribas member can keep their own blog in which they can write down memories of their childhood, their family home, their first school and much more. Each blog entry can be tagged and contain a photo. And blog entries can also be attached to Memory Pages which a member considers relevant, such as the Memory Page of their town, their school, their favorite sports team and more besides.
Create a Memory Page. Memory Pages can be created for towns, school, teams, TV shows, pubs/bars and military units/bases/ships. As well as creating a Memory Page, you can also join other Memory Pages and once a member, you can attach any content you publish on Scribas (forum posts, video pages, blog entries, etc.) to any of your Memory Pages. Find out more about Memory Pages .
Create a Flashbacks Page. Our Flashbacks section includes some great video, photo and audio content: "Oh, I remember that!" you'll say as our Flashbacks take you back to your favorite TV show, a long-forgotten soda pop commercial or a photo of your hometown's High Street in the 1950s.
Join a Scribas Group. You can also join a Scribas Group where our members form their own little communities where those participating may share a hobby, come from the same town or any other connection. Check out the latest Scribas Group directory and perhaps think about starting your own group. Find out more about Scribas Groups .
Post on the Forum Our Forum will give you the chance to ask and answer questions relating to memories. Visit the Scribas Forum.
Sign up to the Scribas newsletter, "Memory Lane" . This monthly newsletter will contain site news and a selection of the very best of recent content from across the site. In addition, you'll find information about new local members and content that is relevant to you.
