Want to revisit a favorite photo, story, or document? It’s easy to view media you’ve already saved, uploaded, or linked to your tree. You can access media in your tree from either the full tree gallery or a person’s gallery.

From the tree gallery

This view shows all media that’s been added to your tree.

In a browser

  1. From any page on Ancestry, select the Memories tab.
  2. Choose Gallery to see the full tree gallery.
    By default, this shows the gallery of the last tree you viewed. 
    To switch trees, click the tree name in the top-left corner and choose a different tree.
  3. Select a media item to open it.
     

In the app

If you have more than one tree, open the one with the media you want to view first. For help switching trees, read Switching Between Trees in the Ancestry App.

  1. In the bottom menu, tap Memories.
  2. Go to the Gallery section.
    This shows media from the tree currently open in the app.
  3. Tap a media item to open it.
     

From a person’s gallery

This view shows only the media linked to a specific person in your tree.

In a browser

  1. Go to your family tree and select the person.
  2. In the opened card, click Profile.
  3. On their profile page, select the Gallery tab.
  4. Select a media item to open it.
