What we believe

Access to the past is vital to society.

For centuries, communities have supported the preservation and safekeeping of our historical resources because we know that these materials will serve as evidence for future generations.
But physical preservation is no longer enough.

In order to ensure our history remains available for future generations, we must employ new techniques and technologies. In order to save our history, we must transform minds and behaviors. We are visionary in our work and unrelenting in our determination that new, forward-thinking solutions be implemented.

At HistoryIT, we believe that no problem is unsolvable.

Mission
