Intimate media are media artifacts created and collected by individuals, friends, and families to capture and commemorate aspects of family and intimate relationships. Intimate media includes such things as personal and family photo collections, home videos and films, diaries and journals, and letters. In fact, depending on the meaning and values attributed to an object, anything could be considered intimate media. Cass, Goulden, Kozlov, and Rees write that "[t]he deepest relationship people have with their material possessions is through associating them with experiences."

Intimate media can also include online materials. See for example the Romanian online magazine Intime (in Romanian).
