What we Believe - HistoryIT: We give history a future

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

Our mission is to democratize our collective history by making the public historical record just as accessible, searchable and meaningful to a fifth grader as to a professional researcher.

Vision

We envision a world in which digital primary sources are easily discovered by those who would draw meaning and value from them.

Values

As a team, we are dedicated to fulfilling our mission and working to achieve our vision. Toward this end, we deeply value the following traits in both our employees and our clients:

curiosity
