Heritage and Society
Greyscale Ltd dedicates a share of its annual profits to philanthropic digital preservation projects — making history accessible to everyone, everywhere.
Our commitment
Heritage belongs to everyone — not just institutions
For over a decade, Greyscale has worked alongside archives, libraries, national institutions, banks, and religious organisations to digitise and preserve irreplaceable records.
We have seen first-hand how access to historical documents can change lives — reconnecting communities, informing research, and bringing lost histories back to light.
We believe that the commercial success of our work creates a responsibility to give back. That is why Greyscale allocates a portion of its annual profits to support digital heritage projects that would not otherwise receive funding.
"There is rather a lot of human history sitting in boxes that no one can read. We thought someone ought to do something about that."
— Mattia Traversa, Founder, Greyscale Ltd

Where our philanthropic investment goes
Our commitment
A long-term commitment, not a one-off gesture
Our philanthropic programme is embedded in how we operate — not a campaign or a one-time donation, but an ongoing commitment that grows as Greyscale grows. The more we succeed commercially, the more we can give back to the communities whose heritage we are privileged to work with.
