How We Access, Create, Share, and Understand Information Is Evolving
midd.data provides equitable and inclusive access to powerful technological tools, develops the skills to apply them across disciplines, and supports the critical exploration of their possibilities and promise.
Data and digital methodologies are as central to a 21st-century liberal arts education as reading and writing.
We can use data and digital tools to combine and create information in unprecedented ways. Understanding these tools, techniques, and methods, and applying them in the context of Middlebury’s liberal arts curriculum, is at the heart of MiddData.
- Build the digital and data skills and habits of mind essential for success both in college and in the world.
- Access data and digital tools that make connections across the curriculum, from the physical sciences to social sciences, from economics to languages and the humanities.
- Understand not only how to use technology, but also how to apply values and ethics to its personal, professional, and societal use.

Featured Projects
Projects like The Collinwood Fire, 1908, a digital interactive book and animated short film (pictured here), integrate digital scholarship into the study of history and culture.
