As we celebrate 15 years of HistoryIT, this moment reflects what we believe most deeply:

Preservation isn’t just about the past. It’s about connecting people, strengthening trust and building systems that last.

We’re honored to continue this work alongside nonprofits, schools, associations, faith-based organizations, and member communities — and grateful for the trust our partners place in us.

One insight we’ve heard again and again — from both our partners and survey data:

Members and alumni want updates about one another, especially during moments of loss or transition. Yet most organizations don’t have the systems to support that well.

Too often, teams are relying on labor-intensive, ad-hoc solutions to manage something that deserves care and consistency.

MemoryPort was built to close that gap — helping organizations communicate thoughtfully, honor individuals with dignity, and reduce manual work behind the scenes.

Our History Savers are on the road this week with The Kansas City Chiefs. Spending time with organizations that care deeply about their history is always one of the best parts of our work — especially when the setting looks like this.

You could say we’re thinking about the long-term game plan for history.

MemoryPort is a natural extension of how we think about preservation.

For 15 years, HistoryIT has helped organizations turn fragile archives into trusted, usable digital collections. With MemoryPort, that same philosophy now applies to history happening in the present.

MemoryPort integrates with Odyssey Preservation, ensuring that stories shared today are preserved to professional standards and remain accessible for generations to come.

Organizations don’t just want to preserve history — they want to use it.
MemoryPort gives organizations a structured, brand-safe way to:

🔸 Create a searchable, organization-owned Commemoration Site
🔸 Invite members and alumni to share stories and upload photos to honor individuals
🔸 Keep communities informed through timely, opt-in updates

The result is meaningful, community-generated content that strengthens connection today — and becomes part of an organization’s enduring digital archive for the future.

We’ve acquired LifeWeb 360 and launched MemoryPort, a digital commemoration and engagement platform designed to help organizations preserve history as it’s happening now.

In this short video, our Founder & CEO, Kristen Gwinn-Becker, PhD, shares:

🔸 What we’ve learned from our partners over the past 15 years
🔸 Why organizations need better systems to keep communities informed and connected
🔸 How MemoryPort helps honor individuals and strengthen belonging
