Historical Archive

The Nestlé-LeMur Historical Archive documents the history of the Nestlé-LeMur Company and its role in the international development of the permanent wave industry.

This archive forms part of an ongoing historical research project dedicated to preserving and documenting original sources relating to the company, its products, technologies and commercial activities.

Purpose of the Archive

The archive brings together historical documents that are today dispersed across archives, libraries, historical newspapers and private collections.

Its aim is to preserve these sources, place them into their historical context and make them accessible for researchers, historians and everyone interested in the history of the beauty industry.

Archive Collections

The archive currently includes:

• Historical Documents

• Technical Documents

• Company Records

• Photographs

Each collection is continuously expanded as new historical material becomes available.

An Ongoing Research Project

The Nestlé-LeMur Historical Archive is continuously updated with newly discovered historical documents, photographs and company records.

Its long-term goal is to create one of the most comprehensive online archives documenting the history of the Nestlé-LeMur Company and its contribution to the development of the permanent wave industry.
