Reimagine History

Welcome to Reimagine History, a cultural studio grounded in archives, driven by design, and shaped by the past. Our mission is simple but radical: to transform primary sources into living stories. We offer full-service digital printing and licensing of one of the most influential newspapers in the Southern United States—The Daily Picayune (later The Times-Picayune), from 1888-1929. Our 1,000,000-page newspaper archive spans the dawn of Louisiana’s modern era.

We aren’t just inspired by history—we’re in dialogue with it. We embed our work with integrity. Every product is a portal, offering layered entry into the world from which it came; a response to a source: a headline, an illustration, a forgotten name. Each collection starts with evidence, not aesthetics. With documents, not decorations or declarations. From this foundation, we publish the following:

  • Physical goods— we craft retail-ready products for museum gift shops and specialty boutiques
  • Immersive exhibitions— we design historically inspired installations for landmarks  and special events.

Whether it’s a limited-edition print, a pop-up rooted in a century-old scandal, or an activation that reanimates the soul of Storyville, we turn archival gold into cultural currency—making the past powerful once more.

We don’t chase trends. We chase truth.
We don’t reference the past—we retrieve it.
Our aesthetic is not nostalgic. It’s restorative.
We do not idealize the past—we excavate it.

We follow the archivist’s ethic: honesty over gloss, context over convenience, memory over myth.
