Our Journey of Preservation

Tracing the roots of Naga heritage through a lens of historical dignity and digital preservation, ensuring our ancestors' stories live on.

Our Purpose

Digital Repatriation

For decades, the visual history of Nagaland remained locked in private collections and distant museums. Our mission is to facilitate the digital repatriation of these images, bringing ancestral imagery back to the heart of Naga communities.
