Preservica is the world's leading provider of active digital preservation software, protecting the world's most valuable digital assets for future generations.
Founded in 2010 and headquartered in Abingdon, United Kingdom, Preservica emerged from a decade of research at the University of Oxford and the UK National Archives. The company has grown to serve over 500 organizations across 45 countries, including national archives, government agencies, universities, museums, galleries, and corporations. With a team of approximately 100 employees and backed by significant investment including a $22 million Series B round in 2021, Preservica has established itself as the trusted choice for organizations that need to preserve digital content for decades or centuries. The company processes and protects billions of digital files, ensuring long-term accessibility and authenticity of critical digital assets ranging from government records to cultural heritage collections.
What distinguishes Preservica is its focus on active digital preservation rather than passive storage. While traditional backup and storage solutions simply keep files intact, Preservica continuously monitors, validates, and migrates digital content to ensure it remains accessible as technology evolves. The platform automatically handles format obsolescence, validates file integrity, maintains audit trails, and ensures compliance with international preservation standards like OAIS (Open Archival Information System). Preservica Cloud Edition delivers enterprise-grade preservation as a fully managed SaaS solution, eliminating infrastructure complexity. Preservica Content Preservation provides comprehensive digital preservation capabilities with automated format migration and validation. Preservica Access enables organizations to share preserved collections with researchers, students, and the public through customizable portals. These solutions work together to protect digital assets against technology obsolescence, bit rot, cyber threats, and organizational change—risks that passive storage cannot address.
Preservica's mission is to ensure that today's digital information remains accessible and usable for future generations, regardless of how technology changes. The company primarily serves memory institutions including national and regional archives, academic libraries and universities, museums and cultural heritage organizations, government agencies at local and national levels, and corporations with long-term retention requirements across industries like pharmaceuticals, aerospace, finance, and media. Customers range from small regional archives to major institutions like the UK National Archives, Library of Congress, NASA, and Fortune 500 companies managing records that must remain accessible for regulatory, legal, or historical purposes for decades or even centuries.
