Who we are
menn · egg · vah – Cornish, meaning ‘catalogue’ or ‘index’
Menegva help people to make the most of their media. Our affordable cataloguing and data support can move you away from information overload into a calm, clean, state, ready for anything the future may bring. Perhaps you’ve built a successful online shop or website but are now finding yourself drowning in images and outdated marketing materials? Or maybe you’ve assembled a collection of objects but now have no record or catalogue for them? We can help you see the wood for the trees! We believe in building simple, affordable toolkits that enable small businesses, shops, and collections to expand and evolve. Part of Cornwall’s thriving tech hub, Menegva promote digital wellbeing and sustainability above all else.
How we can help
We can help you organise, preserve, and ultimately, make the most of your:
- messy or patchy inventory data
- outdated or non-existent filing systems
- dodgy databases
- overloaded computer desktops
- duplicate files (or, the ones kept in ‘that folder’)
- disorganised address books or out of date contacts databases

What we’ve worked with
We’re not phased by in-person or digital graft – we seek it out. We’ve already especially enjoyed organising our customers’ documents, photographs, marketing materials, films, videos, audio, posters, drawings, illustrations, books, magazines, journals, paintings, sculptures, ceramics, maps, treasure, artefacts, ledgers, historical records, and much, much more. Our ideal outcome for a project is that, rather than provide a temporary fix, we’ve enabled you to manage your media in the easiest and most fruitful way to suit your own intentions, for now and for the future.
Where we’ve worked
While we tend to operate from our own space, we’ve spent plenty of time in offices, basements, museum store cupboards, actual cupboards, libraries, sheds, garages, warehouses, storage units, studios, and workshops. We fully understand the benefit that ‘fresh eyes’ can bring to a collection or project sometimes, and we travel nationwide (sometimes even further) to do just this.

It has been a pleasure to work with Mel as an archivist and consultant through the Art360 Programme since 2016. Her approach to the preservation and management of artists’ archives is thoughtful, creative, and always highly professional. Mel’s expertise in the archiving of multimedia and conceptual art practice has been of huge value to the development of our programme with artists and estates. We look forward to working with Mel on future projects and continue to draw upon the work she has delivered as an example of best practice.
