RTHK’s Annemarie speaks to Helen about History Ink and her passion for archives and history.
Your history is important. We help you find it, keep it, tell it, and make it relevant to today’s world.
History Ink is a heritage and archives consultancy focused on making your history and heritage an asset. Archives and history are an invaluable resource for companies and organisations. As well as preserving corporate history for future generations, archives can build authentic brand stories, successfully communicate the long-term perspective of your company, and provide opportunities to connect with the wider community in meaningful ways.
Meet the Founders
We first came together thanks to our shared passion for history and storytelling. Our work has since become a collective mission to build knowledge and share discoveries about the past in the present. Now based in London, Amsterdam and Singapore, we have worked with a wide range of businesses, charities, families and cultural organisations in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East.
