The Human-Only Mandate
To preserve authenticity, GeoTales operates under a strict code of purity. It is a digital sanctuary — not another feed.
Anti-influence
No advertising, no sponsored content, no influencer metrics. The focus is on the story, never the storyteller’s brand. Nothing is ranked, boosted, or sold.
No-AI guarantee
A clean-space policy. Only human-captured words, images, video and audio are permitted. Every contribution carries a human-capture affirmation.
Verification
Advanced metadata checks help ensure content is captured by a lens, not a prompt — so the archive stays a record of the real.
The institutional ecosystem
A bridge to the keepers of culture.
GeoTales is designed to connect the public with the institutions that preserve human memory.
University partnerships
Anonymised, consented data for ethnographic and sociological research — a living atlas of how people describe the places they live.
Museum integration
Digital archives that complement physical exhibits, mapping a collection back to the coordinates its objects came from.
Research & culture
Collaborations with NGOs and historical societies to map oral histories before they disappear.
Combatting digital erasure.
Stories on social media are buried in minutes. Oral histories vanish with the people who hold them. GeoTales makes a place’s memory permanent — and gives it back to everyone who comes after.
