Hello.
Welcome.

We're Deep Keep Ltd and we work in technology and heritage. We are available for hire as well as looking for collaborators on our own projects.

We are currently working on:

• KeepRight: An open protocol to record preservation instructions
• Daybook: A record of the why behind the work (sign up for our Alpha!)
• The graceful slow-down of a small nonprofit
• Establishing a stubborn, small archiving institute
• The requirements and governance of a distributed archival network

Who we are

Deep Keep has grown out of the first chapter of Flickr.org. We're a team that’s spent years thinking about what people make online, what gets lost, what's worth keeping, and how to do that. So here we are.

Why are
we doing this?

The web was born in 1994. We’ve already lost a bunch of it. The wonderful Internet Archive is doing the majority of the archiving work today - holding over 1 trillion web pages, and all kinds of other media.

We think there is room for lots of different approaches to digital preservation and, in particular, the preservation of social media systems and active contemporary digital histories. A lot of the web is semi-private or dark, and therefore is also not being gathered by today’s archivists. There’s a lot of territory here that deserves attention, experimentation, and tooling.

That’s where we live.
