Matrixdee MemoryVault
Preserving stories, records and heritage for the future.
Nigeria’s documentary memory lives in public records, photographs, manuscripts, books, family collections, oral histories, newspapers, maps, audiovisual material, and cultural artefacts. These collections can deteriorate, become difficult to find, or remain inaccessible to the people who need them.
Matrixdee MemoryVault helps institutions, communities, authors, and organisations document, digitise, organise, publish, and share important cultural and historical materials responsibly.
01 · Approach
From fragile records to living memory.
Digitisation is more than scanning pages. It requires careful assessment, cataloguing, metadata, preservation planning, access controls, visual documentation, storytelling, and long-term stewardship.

A digital future for Nigeria’s archives.
Matrixdee is developing an ambition to support the responsible digitisation and wider access of Nigeria’s documentary heritage. This includes potential future work with national and state archives, libraries, museums, universities, cultural institutions, communities, and private collections.
The aim is to help preserve records while making them easier to find, study, teach from, and pass on to future generations.
