I did my PhD at UMD and currently work in UMD's Special Collections. Some of my colleagues earned MLIS degrees from UMD and we work with MLIS students often. Happy to connect!

I had a delightful experience teaching this! Most of the class loved it. One of my favorite teaching experiences, and one I don’t take for granted since I shared the same fear!

Congrats, Matt! We’ll miss you at UMD, but glad that you’re still in the region!

If you'd like to see all the canceled NEH grants at variance with agency priorities that allegedly will fail to inspire your confidence in use of taxpayer funds, go explore impact.ach.org. Then contact your representatives about this outrageous cull.

🚨 Funding is being cut for the California Digital Newspaper Collection!

The state budget for next year zeroes out all funding, which would put the entire site offline permanently.

Sample text ⬇️
I write to urge you to put the $430,000 for the California Newspaper Project (CNP) back into the FY2026 budget. For more than three decades, the CNP has worked to catalog, preserve and digitize our state’s newspapers. Along with tens of thousands of other Californians, I am an avid user of their California Digital Newspaper Collection (CDNC), https://cdnc.ucr.edu, a free online collection of more than 40 million pages of digitized newspapers from around the Golden State. Every year they digitize millions of additional pages through grants, partnerships with private industry, and contracts with institutions around the state. No one else in California does this work and without the state support for the CNP, no one will do it. The CDNC is the largest archive of its kind in the country. This relatively small investment from the State will ensure this unique and invaluable resource remains freely accessible to all Californians.
