Toward support of planning and revitalization efforts in Central West Baltimore as part of the federal Choice Neighborhood Program. This initiative will provide representation from each of the neighborhoods working on community projects.

Johns Hopkins University Center for Social Concern

Toward Phase II of Project Gado, a robotic scanning technology initiative. By adopting a social enterprise model to build a revised, easier-to-assemble version of the robotic scanner, the project will digitize archival images, which will serve as primary sources for publishers, film-makers, and researchers. The scanned images can then be entered into a Web-enabled database system for eventual publishing online.
