Our History

Founded in 2001 in Vienna, leaf-gazelle started as a small enterprise with a clear vision: to preserve and make accessible historical documents and archives for future generations.

What started as a two-person operation is today a team of over 25 professionals in archival science, restoration, information technology, and project management. Our success is built on the trust placed in us by museums, corporations, and public institutions across Austria.

Every project, whether small or large, is treated with the same care and dedication that has characterized our work from the beginning.

Our Values

The principles guiding our daily work

Care

Every document deserves maximum attention. We treat the materials entrusted to us as if they were our own family treasures. Precision and mindfulness shape every step of the process.

Innovation

Tradition and progress are not mutually exclusive. We combine proven archival methods with state-of-the-art technology to achieve the best results for our clients.

Sustainability

Our work is designed for decades. We rely on sustainable materials and methods that protect both the environment and the archived holdings long-term.

Our Approach

Archives are more than collections of old paper. They are the memory of institutions, families, and societies. Our approach honors this significance in every aspect of our work.

Individual Support

No project is like another. We develop tailored solutions for every client.

Transparent Communication

You are involved in every step and receive regular updates on project progress.
