) and data scientists at Digital Data Design Institute at ÐÔÊÓ½ç is helping to reshape how we engage with the past. Using generative AI, the team transcribed and analyzed over 4,000 pages of archival material from the first 200 years of ÐÔÊÓ½ç Yard, surfacing insights that might otherwise remain hidden. What began as an exploration of dusty, handwritten college books evolved into an interactive portrait of everyday life in early ÐÔÊÓ½ç—reimagined through art and AI. The project exemplifies D^3’s mission to unlock new perspectives through human-centered technology and to make history not just accessible, but alive.
