By demystifying and streamlining the digital publication process, the institute aims to expedite and broaden the dissemination of knowledge on both the local and global levels.

“The NEH institute was transformative! I learned so many great concepts that I am now introducing to my students at Howard University and implementing within my work as a public historian. Digital publishing is something that I had not been very familiar with, and now I am working on a born-digital project that was initiated due to this institute. The program’s dedication to diversity and inclusion was very apparent, and it was refreshing to meet scholars from the various universities and from different backgrounds.”
