When considering the missions of the local digital history centers in the VA area, it was great to see that the major focus was creating accessibility to digital history not only to their related universities, but to the greater community. The work that many of these centers to is also quite interesting. With so much data and information available, such tools to organize, visualize, and present relevant historical information is invaluable. For instance, the methods that the Maryland Institute for Technology in the Humanities (MITH) explore to create computing methods to enhance digital preservation of data is nearly as important as the data itself when it comes to making it accessible and usable to the average user.
