Our Journey Through Memeology: From Concept to Cultural Hub

The Memeology Library was founded in Geneva in 2024 as the first institution dedicated exclusively to the study and preservation of memes. What started as a small initiative by a group of digital culture enthusiasts quickly grew into an internationally recognized center for meme research and education. Driven by the belief that memes are more than just internet humor—they are vital tools for communication, activism, and cultural expression—the library has expanded its archives to include thousands of memes, dating from the early days of the internet to the latest viral sensations. Over the years, the Memeology Library has become a dynamic space for academics, artists, and meme creators alike, fostering a global dialogue about the cultural impact of memes.

Mission
At the Memeology Library, our mission is to document, study, and celebrate memes as essential artifacts of digital culture. We aim to provide a comprehensive resource for researchers, educators, and meme enthusiasts, offering insights into how memes shape societal norms, political discourse, and global trends. Through our collections, exhibitions, and events, we strive to elevate memes beyond entertainment and into the realm of cultural significance.

Vision
We envision a future where the role of memes in shaping public opinion and social behavior is fully recognized and understood. By making memes accessible to a broad audience and supporting innovative research, we aim to be the leading institution in memeology studies globally, promoting the understanding of digital communication's past, present, and future. Our vision is to empower future generations to navigate the evolving digital landscape with greater insight into how memes influence our world.
