Picard family album

Photograph album saved from the Enterprise-D

The bound album of family photographs that Jean-Luc Picard keeps in his quarters and salvages from the wreck of the Enterprise-D on Veridian III at the end of Star Trek Generations.

The Picard family album is a large old-fashioned book of pictures recording generations of the Picard family of La Barre. It appears in Star Trek Generations, set in 2371.
Early in the film Picard learns that his brother Robert and his nephew René have died in a fire at the family home. Deanna Troi finds him in his quarters turning the pages of the album, and he shows her a picture of the boy and speaks of his grief that the family line will end with him.
After the saucer section crashes on Veridian III, Picard and Riker pick through the ruined ready room. Picard leaves almost everything behind but digs the album out of the debris, the one thing he came back for, before the two beam away for the last time.
