SUMMARY:Tech On Display In-Person Event: Lunch at the Library: AI and Historical Research
DESCRIPTION:Join us for lunch and a compelling discussion with Loren S. Moulds about how AI is revolutionizing archival transcription and analysis. \nThis event is part of the Washington Library’s Lunch at the Library series. Lunch will be provided. \n\n\nAbout the Talk\nAs archives digitize more content than ever before\, the challenge of transforming handwritten\, inconsistent\, and unstructured documents into usable data remains a major hurdle. This talk explores how AI-assisted technologies — particularly large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT — are transforming this process by enabling faster\, more accurate\, and scalable transcription and analysis of archival materials. \nUsing a fascinating case study from a 1930s plantation tourism guest register\, this presentation demonstrates how AI can transcribe complex handwritten records\, structure the data for research\, and drastically reduce the time and labor traditionally required for such tasks. It will also explore broader applications of these techniques across a variety of archival materials and gain insight into how these technologies can unlock hidden stories in the archive. \n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the Author\nLoren S. Moulds is the Head of Digital Scholarship & Preservation and Digital Collections Librarian at the University of Virginia School of Law\, where he leads the development\, interpretation\, and management of the Law Library’s digital scholarship projects and oversees the preservation and accessibility of its archival and digital collections. As a member of the University’s General Faculty\, Loren collaborates closely with UVA’s digital scholarship and library technology communities to support innovative research and digital initiatives. \nA historian of twentieth-century American Political Development\, Loren received his Ph.D. in History from the University of Virginia in 2014. He also holds an MSIS with a focus on Digital Archives and Data Management from the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville. Loren’s work integrates emerging technologies into historical research and archival practice\, enabling new approaches to the transcription\, structuring\, and analysis of complex historical data. His ongoing research and digital initiatives explore how AI and computational tools can help unlock and interpret archival materials at scale\, broadening access to historical collections and fostering new avenues for inquiry.

What if I told you that these very traits\, often perceived as problematic in a traditional project environment\, are the very ingredients that can fuel entrepreneurial success? This presentation will explore the surprising connection between disruptive employee behaviors and the skills needed to thrive as an entrepreneur. We’ll dissect common “problem employee” characteristics like risk-taking\, nonconformity\, and relentless questioning\, and reframe them as valuable assets in the entrepreneurial landscape. \nDesigned specifically for mid-level project managers in the PMI Montgomery County MD Chapter\, this session will provide actionable insights into recognizing and potentially nurturing entrepreneurial potential within your teams. We’ll discuss how to identify individuals who possess the drive\, creativity\, and resilience to break free from conventional structures and forge their own paths. Ultimately\, you’ll gain a fresh perspective on managing “problematic” employees\, understand how to channel their energy productively\, and perhaps even identify future entrepreneurs hiding in plain sight within your projects. \n\n\n\nLearning Objectives:\n\n\nIdentify and Reframe “Problematic” Employee Traits: Participants will be able to recognize common disruptive behaviors exhibited by employees (e.g.\, risk-taking\, challenging authority\, questioning processes) and reframe them as potential entrepreneurial strengths.\nUnderstand the Link Between Disruptive Behaviors and Entrepreneurial Skills: Participants will be able to articulate the connection between seemingly negative employee traits and the core skills required for entrepreneurial success\, such as innovation\, problem-solving\, and resilience.\nRecognize Entrepreneurial Potential Within Project Teams: Participants will be able to identify individuals within their project teams who demonstrate entrepreneurial tendencies and understand how to assess their potential for future business ventures.\nDevelop Strategies for Managing and Channeling Entrepreneurial Energy: Participants will be able to apply practical strategies for managing employees with entrepreneurial aspirations\, fostering their creativity\, and channeling their energy productively within the project environment\, even if they ultimately pursue ventures outside the organization.\n\n\n\n\nPresenter Bio: Founder of multiple successful professional services firms\, Mr. Senter has run professional services firms since leaving the finance industry in 2007.
