History, although in the #past, can help shape the future. Local #historian and #entrepreneur Jennifer Keil, co-founder of 70 Degrees, aims to change how archivists preserve historical #data to show that history can be simultaneously fun and profitable. Named for the ideal #storage temperature of artifacts, 70 Degrees uses both physical means and #digital technology to store historical objects, record oral history accounts, curate #museum exhibits and work with both government and businesses to preserve important records and events. The company manages a #temperature-controlled facility in Laguna Hills, which houses artifacts and lends them to organizations. Along with her sister and fellow co-founder Cynthia Keil – they have an expertise in oral history and interest in #information technology – the Keils noticed a need for digital and physical archives in local history. “Although we work in a very physical space, we are very much in the digital sphere, showing what’s physically in those storage containers so that groups borrowing information or artifacts can get a sense of what we have and make it easier to collaborate,” said Jennifer.
