Help / helps

I just saw this on Facebook.

What is the subject and what is the verb? Is 'collection' the subject for the verb 'help' ?
1. Timeline is your collection of the photos, posts and experiences that help tell your story. <- this one is on facebook

2. Timeline is your collection of the photos, posts and experiences that helps tell your story. <- should it be 'help' or 'helps'?

Thanks
