MicroPast was founded in 2025 by Gordon van Zuiden. MicroPast focuses on the detailed study of small units of research, such as individual lives, specific businesses, unique locations or immersive travel adventures.

Gordon founded Micropast based on the passion that he has to explore unique historical stories in places where he has lived, worked or travelled, specifically Los Gatos, Capitola, and Paris, France.
