Without early adopter projects at the University of Maryland, MITH would not have been made possible. These projects remain active and continue to serve as mentors and guides for MITH projects. Two in particular maintain workstations in MITH and regularly offer their expertise in coding, scanning, and organization and thus work collaboratively with MITH projects. The Electronic Literature Organization, which allowed us to expand our interests in creative new media, moved to MITH from its previous base at UCLA in 2006.

• Dickinson Electronic Archives

  Devoted to the study of Emily Dickinson, her writing practices, writings generated by her work, and writings directly influencing her work, the DEA features images of original manuscripts of the poet and her family, scholarly resources, various pedagogical tools, and readings by contemporary poets musing on the legacy of Dickinson and the state of American poetry at the beginning of the twentieth-first century.

• Romantic Circles

  Providing resources for the study of Romantic-period literature and culture by students, teachers, and scholars, RC is the collaborative product of an ever-expanding community of editors, contributors, and users around the world from a variety of humanities fields, offering electronic editions, scholarly resources, an interactive virtual space, and an online journal.

• Electronic Literature Organization

  As of July 1st, 2006, MITH became the headquarters of the Electronic Literature Organization. The Electronic Literature Organization (ELO) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established in 1999 to promote and facilitate the writing, publishing, and reading of electronic literature. Since its formation, the Electronic Literature Organization has worked to assist writers and publishers in bringing their literary works to a wider, global readership and to provide them with the infrastructure necessary to reach one another.
