We are happy to announce that Historic Records has joined ICARUS as Corporate Partner.

Based in the United Kingdom, Historic Records brings more than 30 years of expertise in helping archives, museums, and private organisations unlock the value of their historical collections. Through innovative digitisation services, AI-assisted and human transcription, and the licensing of digitised archival content, the company transforms vast volumes of unstructured historical records into searchable, accessible, and actionable information. Their commitment to making archival heritage more discoverable aligns closely with ICARUS’ mission of fostering collaboration, innovation, and access across the archival community.

We are especially pleased to welcome a partner whose team has already been actively engaging with the ICARUS community. As Geoff Blissitt, Head of Engagement at Historic Records, shares:

“We have been aware of ICARUS’ excellent work for a while, having attended and enjoyed a number of their conventions. We felt it was high time, therefore, to translate this on-the-fringe admiration into tangible, on-the-ground support. As a team, we could not be happier about joining the ICARUS network and we look forward to playing an active part in its continued success.”

We are grateful for Historic Records’ confidence in our network and excited about the expertise and perspective they will bring. We look forward to working together to advance innovation in archival digitisation, strengthen international collaboration, and create new opportunities for archives and researchers alike.

A very warm welcome to the ICARUS family—we look forward to an inspiring journey together!
