Every day, pieces of our collective human story disappear, permanently lost to time.
Huema is building a holistic, high-quality online archive of primary sources while capturing collection metadata.
Captures both the source before it degrades and its context — detailed physical scans, mappings, recordings, and metadata on who collected the data, how it was acquired, and the context by which it was collected.
Represents all cultures and histories equitably by avoiding narrow, colonial, or institutional biases. Traditional archives are often siloed, specialized, and shaped by such perspectives.
Unites sources from museums and universities alongside independent researchers and community historians, ensuring that histories from underrepresented cultures are preserved alongside dominant narratives.
Openly available so educators, researchers, and the public can explore our collective history without barriers, making the full breadth of humanity's story available to anyone, anywhere.
Gather initial scans, recordings, and verified metadata from both local and global contributors. This foundational dataset is the seed from which the archive will grow.
Build and launch a dedicated, in-depth digital platform that unifies data, supports advanced metadata tagging, and utilizes AI-assisted research with public access for the global community.
Actively support preservation efforts for humanity's high-risk sources — including UNESCO World Heritage sites considered "in danger", fragile artifacts and sites at risk of decay or destruction, and endangered cultures with disappearing traditions.
