Historiq Featured at Historic New England's 2025 Summit

Historiq founder Dean Serrentino and Historiq chairman Rob Waldronappeared at the Historic New England Summit 2025 in New Haven, Connecticut for Heritage, Transformed? Cultural Institutions in the Time of AI, a program focused on how artificial intelligence is changing expectations around authenticity, access, engagement, representation, and sustainability across cultural institutions.

The session included both a special feature conversation with Dean and Rob and a broader panel with leaders working at the intersection of technology, collections, and public interpretation. It was a strong venue for discussing the practical realities behind AI adoption in archives, libraries, museums, and other stewardship organizations.

As cultural institutions evaluate AI, the central question is not whether technology should shape archival work, but how it can do so in a way that strengthens professional standards, expands access, and keeps expert stewardship at the center.

Historiq's participation reflected the company's broader view that new tools should support archival practice rather than flatten it. For institutions working through backlogs, arrangement, description, and digitization priorities, the conversation reinforced the need for systems that improve speed and discoverability without compromising institutional rigor.
