Maeil Archive Book Series

Company History Book

'Maeil 50' consists of 7 books: five comprehensive records-based archives suitable more for preservation, and two lighter summary books with easier access. The project is also marked by its sheer vastness: over 1,600 pages with oversized dimensions. We reconstructed not only the history of one company but also of the entire dairy industry of Korea. In short, the questions we were confronted with every day for three years were how to completely archive a company's history, how to reconstruct it visually, how to let the entire history flow from page to page while not missing details, and what secondary products we could add.
