Siemens Historical Institute Case Study

“ Preserving the essential - this is our common task, our commitment and our purpose. Only in this way we can leave to future generations what really counts.

Dr. Johannes von Karczewski Head of Siemens Historical Institute

“For the most valuable sources in our Corporate Archives, we wanted to find a special home – “a place for eternity,” said Dr. Johannes von Karczewski, Head of Siemens Historical Institute.

Siemens valued our innovative purpose-built solution, meeting OAIS compliance with well-proven technolo gy. It’s as easy to use as any other digital technology, but with a unique security, integrity and longevity.

Piql provided Siemens with the ultimate insurance for their most valuable pieces of history.

SOLUTION

Piql offers the only future-proof digital preservation solution for items with significant historical value.

THE FUTURE

Siemens trusted Piql to digitally preserve founding documents and letters of Werner von Siemens, a man who changed the world. Piql’s future-proof, migration-free solution was an easy choice for Siemens who wanted the ultimate insurance that these documents would never be lost and would survive for many generations to come. Siemens also chose to store their data in the safety of the Arctic World Archive, alongside other global trea sure s such as the National Archives of Mexico, Edvard Munch paintings and ancient manuscripts from the Vatican. “Preserving the essential - this is our common task, our commitment and our purpose. Only in this way we can leave to future generations what really counts,” said Dr von Karczewski. “We are convinced that Piql’s approach to long-term archiving in the Arctic World Archive is the right one for some of our most valuable documents.”

The Siemens Historical Institute found Piql to share its most important mission, “to safeguard irreplace able information and give governments, organisations, businesses and individuals peace of mind.” “Together—I am convinced—we can work in our re spective areas of responsibility to leave the most valu able cultural assets to posterity and to preserve the essential,” said Dr. von Karczewski. A representative of Siemens will visit the Arctic World Archive in early 2019 to safely deposit their data for future generations.
