Cultural Documentation

We are dedicated to preserving heritage that is being lost to the environment and to neglect. Digital preservation of underrepresented knowledge is the future of documenting precious, rare knowledge of human civilisation. Time, calamity and human negligence have already destroyed many invaluable works in natural and man-made disasters.

With our partners we create new collections and tools that change how heritage and knowledge are shared. We will share what we learn about data curation, open data and metadata, reusing collections as data, copyright and digitisation.

Cultural heritage needs a digital shift: more transparent, collaborative, open, accessible and ethical, encouraging a mentality of exploration.

Galleries, libraries, archives and museums hold rich collections of culture, architecture and history, yet few of them are available online. We use digitisation and campaigns to help conserve, study and promote cultural resources before they are forgotten.
