About Archeum
We're on a mission to make historical collections accessible to everyone through the power of artificial intelligence.
Our Mission
To democratize access to historical knowledge by bridging the gap between traditional archival practices and modern AI technology.
We believe that every photograph, document, and artifact in cultural heritage collections holds stories that can inform, inspire, and educate. Our AI-powered platform transforms how researchers, educators, and the public discover and interact with these invaluable resources.
Our Story
Born from the frustration of researchers struggling to find relevant historical materials
The Problem We Witnessed
Our founders, with backgrounds in both technology and library science, spent countless hours in archives and libraries. They watched researchers struggle with outdated search systems, incomplete catalogs, and siloed collections.
Despite billions of dollars invested in digitization, most historical materials remained effectively invisible to researchers and the public. Traditional keyword search couldn't capture the nuanced relationships and contexts that make historical research meaningful.
The Challenge
Researchers spend 80% of their time searching for materials, not analyzing them
The Breakthrough
AI can understand context, relationships, and meaning - just like human researchers
The AI Revolution
In 2019, advances in natural language processing and machine learning presented an unprecedented opportunity. We realized that AI could finally bridge the semantic gap between how humans think about historical materials and how computers organize them.
We assembled a team of AI researchers, librarians and archivists, and archival professionals to build the platform we wished had existed during our own research journeys.
Our Values
The principles that guide everything we do
Privacy & Trust
We protect sensitive historical materials and user data with the highest standards of security and privacy protection.
Accessibility for All
Historical knowledge belongs to everyone. We design inclusive tools that break down barriers to access and discovery.
Innovation with Purpose
We push the boundaries of AI technology while staying grounded in real research needs and archival best practices.
Global Perspective
We celebrate diverse histories and cultures, building technology that respects and amplifies voices from all communities.
Continuous Learning
We listen to our users, learn from researchers, and constantly improve our platform based on real-world feedback.
Community First
We're part of the cultural heritage community, not just a technology vendor. Your success is our success.
