Turning the wisdom of the past into power today. Carrying cultural records into the future.

From organizing local memory and archives to digital support and publishing.
We start small and make it real together.

Practical digital support and archive-building for museums, archives, and cultural organizations.
Because large vendors don't fit niche, highly specialized needs, we design low-upfront solutions so your team can focus on core work (collecting, exhibiting, researching).

Are you facing these challenges?

Organize and share cultural records.
We accompany you through sorting, digitization, and outreach.

Collections are scattered and unorganized
Web and social media updates are hard to keep up
Can’t set priorities within budget

Do any of these sound familiar?

Organize

Archives are scattered
and hard to reference.

As collections grow, it becomes unclear what is where. Each exhibit or loan means searching everywhere, and data is fragmented. You want to preserve records, but time and staffing are limited.

See how we solve it
Digital

You want to go digital,
but progress stalls.

Site and exhibit updates keep getting postponed. You need multilingual support but don’t know where to start. No one feels confident with digital tools.

See how we solve it
Outreach

PR efforts aren’t leading to
visits or donations.

Even with exhibits and events, visitors are few. SNS posts get little response and impact is unclear. You’d like to gather donations or members, but they don’t come together.

See how we solve it
Reprint

Valuable books or records
stay out of print.

The content is valuable, but without publishing know-how or budget, reprints feel impossible. “We want to release this book again,” but can’t make it real.

What we can do

To preserve and share culture,
we help solve your challenges.

From IT and data organization to outreach, donations, and reprints, we stay close to your needs.

Archives

Make your materials searchable
and ready to show.

We digitize collections and records, designing metadata so they can be searched and used. From multilingual QR in your venue to integrating exhibit information, we tailor everything to on-site operations.

Archives support

Digital

Keep daily updates going
without overwork.

We lessen the burden of site updates, exhibit additions, and event announcements. With multilingual support and online tools, we build a workflow that lets your team keep updates going on their own.

Museum DX / operations support

Media

Turn “telling” into
reaching people.

Using social media, newsletters, and FieldLink, we deliver exhibits and programs to those who need them. We design online/offline journeys and build systems to sustain relationships with visitors and donors.

Outreach & media support

Publishing

Carry sleeping classics
to the next generation.

We reprint and re-edit out-of-print books and records into new forms. From planning through production, printing, and sales, we help build a publishing setup that works even at small scale.

Connecting cultural records to today.
Here are a few books we’ve helped reprint or edit.

Beyond publishing, we support planning, design, and production management end-to-end. Together with small museums, families, and rights holders, we pass valuable cultural assets to future generations.

Funding

Funding support

So that small museums and groups can begin with confidence.
We help you make use of the right programs and move forward sustainably.

Keeping culture alive requires structures that support its purpose.

From grants and subsidies to crowdfunding, donations, and membership programs, we help create a sustainable funding cycle that leads to future activities and long-term operations.

Message

Carry forward the wisdom of those who came before us.
Bring cultural records into the future.

Within small museums and single books reside the memories of a region and the beginnings of someone’s story.

At Field Archive, our role is to shape these into forms that truly reach people.

Reprints and the building of archives are not merely production work — they are bridges that pass stories and history on to the future.

With steps that fit the field, steadily and carefully.
We hope to be a quiet force that helps culture continue.
