View Current WorkHistoric Reimaginings explores new ways for museums, historic sites, archives, and educators to connect people with the past through thoughtful interpretation and emerging technologies.
From QR experiences and digital storytelling to responsible uses of artificial intelligence, the work is guided by one principle:
Using technology to help people engage more deeply with history—not replace it.
Historic Reimaginings builds on ongoing work in historical research, museum collaboration, educational publishing, and public interpretation.

Current Focus
Historic Reimaginings is currently developing QR-based museum interpretation and practical demonstrations for the 2026 New England Museum Association conference.
These early projects will explore how visitors can move from a physical object, room, or historic site to deeper layers of context, evidence, interpretation, and historically grounded reconstruction.
About Historic Reimaginings
Historic reimagining begins with evidence. It draws on surviving objects, archival records, buildings, photographs, family histories, and material culture to help audiences understand people and places that can no longer be experienced directly.
Responsible interpretation distinguishes documented fact from inference and informed reconstruction. Technology should make those distinctions clearer, not obscure them.
Historic Reimaginings supports historically grounded storytelling, transparent interpretation, responsible experimentation, and thoughtful collaboration between technology and the people, places, objects, and records that preserve our shared history.
