KEYPOPPY empowers cultural heritage organizations to bridge tradition and technology — from digitization to AI integration — with precision, empathy, and purpose. Our team blends decades of technical and scholarly experience to craft sustainable, human-centered solutions for the preservation and discovery of cultural memory. We believe that progress in the digital age begins with care: for data, for design, and for the communities that depend on both. Founded in 2007 and inspired by the generosity of machinist and community builder Bob Arthur Keeley (affectionatly "Poppy" and eventually "KEYPOPPY"), the company was born from a simple idea: technology should serve people, not the other way around. That principle guides everything we do—from software development and metadata design to strategic leadership for archives, museums, and research institutes.
