Every year, the curious pore over online registries, pull town hall records, and seek out the lands of their ancestors. Why? Because humans, by nature, pine for the past. Some hope to rediscover it, others ache to understand where it has led since.

Ori’s third edition explores that nostalgia, and its power to foster entirely new experiences along the way. The stories within these pages are proof that sometimes the best path forward starts with a healthy look back.
