The goal: To secure, digitize and make accessible our equestrian collective memory

While we can hardly imagine a world without the internet and social media, most of equestrian history has taken place in the pre-digital era.

For centuries, knowledge transfer and current affairs were only done through books and publications in newspapers and magazines. A large part of it has never been digitized. Knowledge is now in danger of being lost. It is important that we keep it and pass it on to the next generation. 

With this project we want to secure, digitize and make accessible the history of the horse in our society that is embedded in attics and archives with the older generation.

The next step is to keep these archives up to date . A big project that will only succeed with the help of the equestrian community.

To start this project properly, we have an amount of  €75,000 needed to properly establish the basis for digitization and assurance. This allows us to purchase the necessary equipment to digitize all photo material, documentation, books, newspapers and magazines in-house.
