CEO & Founder we Give History a Future @HistoryIT

We save history. Why does history need saving? So much of the resources we use to tell stories from the past are trapped away in boxes and folders, inaccessible via the methods most of us employ to access and share stories. Even worse, much of our historical resources that have \"been digitized\" are just as inaccessible as all of the paper and objects in boxes. This is because their digital representation isn\'t organized or tagged in a digital framework that enables people to find stuff online using their normal language when searching. I founded HistoryIT to give history a future and now serve as the CEO. We are a transformative company that offers services, software, and hardware in order to provide clients with a brand new approach to making historical collections more useful, meaningful and accessible. We bring industry–leading expertise to preserve, make accessible, and even monetize historical collections of all sizes. Working with cultural institutions, universities, fraternal organizations, professional associations, businesses and others, HistoryIT finds unique ways to extract more value from existing assets at an unprecedented pace. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies, proprietary methodologies, and the subject matter expertise and commitment of our team we create appealing, effective digital spaces for archival resources. Message, email, or call me if you want to talk about how to digitize or upgrade your history so that you can truly preserve and share it.
