- CUNY Graduate Center is an important hub for digital work at CUNY – see its newly-launched website for Digital Initiatives.
- A key resource is the CUNY Graduate Center New Media Lab, which works with Graduate Center and CUNY faculty and doctoral students to conceive and create multimedia projects. “Our goal is to integrate digital media into traditional academic practice, challenging scholars to develop fresh questions in their respective fields using the tools of new technology.” The New Media Lab is supervised by the American Social History Project/Center for Media and Learning, housed at the CUNY Graduate Center, which has done innovative work at the intersection of technology, historical scholarship, and education since 1981.
