“Arkhênum’s work helps preserve the bonds of history and our society today.”
Heritage as a driving force in daily life
Simon also shares this commitment and thirst for heritage and archives with his colleagues in the digitisation team, who he discusses and debates with as the documents are processed and articles discovered.
“The documents we have access to are the glue that holds today’s society and history together,” he says. “Through our work at Arkhênum, we help to digitally preserve all the archives that make us who we are today.”

“Revealing genuine moments from history to the world”
Being in daily contact with old, sometimes unpublished, documents means Simon can discover great swathes of history. “The documents we have access to are the glue that holds today’s society and history together,” he says. “Through our work at Arkhênum, we help to digitally preserve all the archives that make us who we are today.”
Arkhênum’s new rallying cry, Revealing the Past, is in perfect accord with the company’s mission: to reveal crucial moments from history for the world to see; and to give the public access to documents that wouldn’t be available to them without digital technology.
Simon believes that every project he undertakes is noteworthy. At the same time, he admits to a special weakness for handling documents and old bindings from the Middle Ages with gilding and illustrations, or documents from the two World Wars. “We handle state archives or reports that fill in everything we might already know about these periods. It’s an incomparable experience”.
