After twelve years in McKeldin Library, staff expansion and research growth called for a more robust space in 2012. We transformed a significantly larger, sunlit, open-floor space in Hornbake Library, neighboring Nonprint Media Services, and the iSchool, into the new digital humanities hub.
On September 5th, 2012 MITH invited friends and colleagues present and past to help us celebrate our move to a new space. Director of the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media (CHNM) Dan Cohen gave the keynote, highlighting MITH’s international work and membership in the “DH culture of nice.” University of Maryland Vice President for Research Pat O’Shea, College of Arts and Humanities Dean Bonnie Thornton Dill, and Dean of Libraries Pat Steele also spoke.
