Description

Is your school's history locked away in a dusty box? It's time to unlock its potential! In this essential episode of The AWB Education Podcast, we welcome Dr. Kristen Gwinn-Becker, CEO of History IT, to discuss why digital preservation is no longer a "nice-to-have" but a strategic necessity for every educational institution. Dr. Gwinn-Becker, an expert historian and software innovator, reveals how safeguarding your unique story is paramount to being a good steward, and how a properly cataloged digital archive transforms into a dynamic content engine that actively supports your school’s future and distinguishes it from others.


Key Takeaways: Learn the mission to "save history," understand the strategic roadmap for building a digital collection, and discover how accessibility turns your past into a powerful tool for your future.
