The Raab Collection announced today the launch of an innovative new tool harnessing the capabilities of artificial intelligence (AI) to help collectors learn more about historical documents and build their collections. Visitors can ask about specific historical figures, types of documents, current availability, or broader topics related to authenticity, rarity, and provenance. This is the first time this technology has been applied to the collecting of important historical documents.
Where to access: For now, the Raab AI Advisor, in Beta mode, is available on the company’s homepage via a button widget in the lower right corner, or on this dedicated page.
Queries posed to the Raab AI Advisor are answered with an informative summary, highlights, a list of recommended documents, and suggestions for further inquiry. Here are two examples:

Last year, Raab launched Search & Curate, a refined search experience, with more filters, better results, and the ability to curate and save results for later use.
The Raab Collection was also one of the earliest adopters of cryptocurrency. In 2022, Raab announced its first sale with cryptocurrency: an important letter of Albert Einstein to a buyer in Singapore.
