A future for the past.

At La Foneria, we use technology to make cultural heritage accessible. Information technologies, artificial intelligence, storytelling techniques and digital strategies are our (and your) allies in this mission.

Digital transformation of cultural heritage.

We use information technologies to manage museum collections, archival holdings and cultural centre recordings and apply efficient AI-driven description, curation, processing and indexing methods

We identify the target audiences of cultural institutions and design publication projects with them in mind. We apply the optimal digital storytelling methods to guarantee the best possible user experience while implementing a digital strategy that allows you to attract potential users in online environments.

And since we know so much about technology and heritage, we make it all look easy.

Manifesto

Holistic vision

We understand cultural heritage as an interrelated whole. That's why we work with all kinds of heritage.

Heritage and technology

Cultural heritage is a common good. To help it stay that way, we work with free, open-source software.

Content First

We create custom projects in an artisanal way. Every collection, museum, archive and documentation centre is unique. We will not complete a publication project that fails to adapt to your content.

Dimensioning

We begin no project before analysing the content of the heritage. A well-designed project based on the content you preserve guarantees future success.

Scalability

We adapt to your pace and budget. Transforming successfully requires cooking on low heat.

Intelligibility

Reaching different audiences means speaking their languages, without renouncing scientific discourse.

Training

We do not want to be indispensable, but rather enable you to work on your own in the future.

Making difficult things easy

The challenge is to enable a simple user experience in large and complex projects.

Interdisciplinarity

We know as much about technology as we do about heritage, so our solutions adapt to your content.

Commitment

We do what we do because we like it and we work with passion.
