01Purpose

Why it matters

The record is how a society remembers. As machine generated content multiplies, telling the authentic from the invented gets harder, and public memory depends on getting it right.

02Research areas

Our work

  • 01

    Reading the record

    Models that recover text and context from fragile, handwritten, and hard to reach sources.

  • 02

    Verifying the record

    Methods to trace provenance and detect alteration, so anyone can know what to trust.

  • 03

    Serving the record

    Open tools, built with archives and communities, that keep public memory searchable and shared.

03How we work

Openly, carefully, and in partnership with the people who keep the record.
