About Us
is the world’s first company to develop professional, Made in Italy machines dedicated to book cleaning,
introducing a new way of treating books and documents.
Technology and conservation
in the service of cultural heritage
Books and documents are not mere objects, but cultural assets that preserve and transmit knowledge. Working with these materials means working with a heritage that concerns institutions, research and collective memory.
At Oracle, every solution is created with a specific goal: to contribute to the protection of knowledge, ensuring processes that are consistent with the nature of the materials and with conservation practices.

From need to the founding of the company
2006

Oracle was founded in 2006 following a study on the impact of dust on books and conservation environments.
2006
The initial analysis, developed in collaboration with an industry professional, highlighted a real but largely unaddressed problem:
the lack of suitable tools for the cleaning and conservation of library materials.
The first machines were therefore developed as a direct response to this need, marking the start of a journey focused from the outset on specific solutions.
Solutions designed around the book
Another principle guiding our conservation design is to bring the machine to the book, rather than the book to the machine.
Cleaning takes place directly on the shelf, without transferring the volumes to dedicated facilities. This reduces handling and limits the risk of damage, especially in the most delicate cases.

An international benchmark for the conservation of library materials
The solutions developed are now used in libraries, archives and institutions across various international contexts. This gradual expansion has resulted in over 400 installations worldwide, with a presence in Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania.
The installation at the Boston Public Library marked an important moment of international visibility, thanks in part to coverage by publications such as the Huffington Post and others, including in Italy, which reported on how it works.
Over time, the solutions have been adopted in contexts that vary greatly in terms of size, organisation and approach to conservation. This widespread adoption highlights the ability to adapt to different operational and cultural needs, whilst maintaining consistency in methodology and standards of intervention.
Supporting the preservation of books and documents
Working with books means taking on a responsibility: to preserve them over time.
This journey stems from a clear insight: to develop the first solutions dedicated to book materials when this field was not yet structured, taking on the role of a first mover.
From this, an approach took shape based on adapting interventions rather than on standardisation. The systems are designed with the book in mind, avoiding forcing it into processes designed for other purposes.


Today, these technologies are used in different contexts, but they share the same objective: to protect the materials and support those who are called upon to preserve them every day:
State and university libraries
Public and private archives
Local authorities and cultural institutions
Specialist operators and service providers
Envisioning and developing technologies for the preservation of knowledge means acting as a bridge between memory and the future, making a tangible contribution to the continuity of cultural heritage.
