Our Purpose

Lifefram is a 300-year-long project to preserve humanity’s data by documenting individuals who have passed away and persistently storing their data for 300 years and beyond. Began in 2022, it aims to provide generations of data for current and future studies about humanity and social science while empowering digital equity which Wikipedia lacks due to their preference with only notable individuals.

Thus, our mission is to document and preserving the biographies of those who have departed regardless of social status, gender, identity, nationality, race and others.
