HistoryIT is revolutionizing the way organizations preserve, organize, and share their key historical materials through digital museums. Led by founder and CEO Kristen Gwinn-Becker, HistoryIT ensures that the legacies of these organizations remain accessible today and for future generations.
In a world where physical documents are at risk of decay and damage, HistoryIT offers a solution that goes beyond traditional archival methods. By digitizing archival assets and creating digital museums with an easy-to-navigate interface, HistoryIT helps organizations tell their stories in a compelling and engaging way.
The process begins with a strategic approach to assessing an organization’s archival assets and mapping out a plan for digital preservation. This is followed by digitizing and tagging materials using Odyssey, HistoryIT’s preservation software. Finally, the team creates a digital museum that showcases photos, memorabilia, and documents in a way that is accessible to all.
One of the core missions of HistoryIT is to democratize history by making the public historical record accessible to everyone. By providing easy access to primary sources, HistoryIT allows individuals to draw their own conclusions and discover new stories within the content. This transparency builds trust and fosters connections between organizations and their audiences.
HistoryIT has made a significant impact in 2023, with over 4.8 million archival items digitally preserved, 37.3 million metadata tags applied, and 33 digital museums launched. The team at HistoryIT has helped organizations raise millions of dollars by creating new connections and nurturing existing relationships through their digital archives.
In a world where information is at our fingertips, HistoryIT is leading the way in preserving and sharing key historical materials. With a dedication to storytelling and accessibility, HistoryIT is ensuring that organizations’ legacies are not just preserved, but celebrated and shared with the world.
