Executive Director of the Digital Public Library of America
Biographical Text
<p>I’m the founding Executive Director of the<a href="http://dp.la/">Digital Public Library of America</a>, which is<a href="http://dp.la/info/">bringing together</a> the riches of America’s libraries, archives, and museums, and making them freely available to the world.</p>
<p>Until 2013 I was a Professor of History in the<a href="http://chnm.gmu.edu/historyarthistory/">Department of History and Art History</a> at<a href="http://www.gmu.edu/">George Mason University</a> and the Director of the <a href="http://chnm.gmu.edu/">Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media</a>. My personal research has been in digital humanities, broadly construed: the impact of new media and technology on all aspects of knowledge, from the nature of digitized resources to twenty-first century research techniques and software tools to the changing landscape of communication and publication.</p>
<p>I’m co-author of <em>Digital History: A Guide to Gathering, Preserving, and Presenting the Past on the Web</em> (University of Pennsylvania Press, 2005), author of <em>Equations from God: Pure Mathematics and Victorian Faith</em> (Johns Hopkins University Press, 2007), co-editor of <em>Hacking the Academy</em> (University of Michigan Press, 2012), and author of <em>The Ivory Tower and the Open Web</em> (University of Michigan Press, forthcoming). I have published articles and book chapters on new media, the history of mathematics and religion, the teaching of history, scholarly communication, and the future of the humanities in a digital age in journals such as the <em>Journal of American History</em>, <em>Victorian Studies</em>, and<em>Rethinking History</em>. My work and thought has <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/24/arts/24peer.html">been</a> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2010/12/04/books/04victorian.html?pagewanted=all">featured</a> <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/08/18/books/old-bailey-trials-are-tabulated-for-scholars-online.html">frequently</a> in the <em>New York Times,</em>the <a href="http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/05/05/AR2010050505309.html"><em>Washington Post</em></a>, the <a href="http://chronicle.com/article/Whats-the-Big-Idea-/124277/"><em>Chronicle of Higher Education</em></a>, and <a href="http://www.timeshighereducation.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=26&storycode=411899&c=1"><em>Times Higher Education</em></a>.</p>
<p>I’m an inaugural recipient of the American Council of Learned Societies’ Digital Innovation Fellowship. In 2011 I received the <a href="http://www.americanlibrariesmagazine.org/news/ala/kilgour-award-recipient-named">Frederick G. Kilgour Award</a> from the American Library Association for my work in digital humanities. In 2012 I <a href="http://chronicle.com/article/A-Digital-Humanist-Puts-New/130925/">was named one of the top “tech innovators”</a> in academia by the <em>Chronicle of Higher Education</em>.</p>
<p>At the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media I have overseen projects ranging from <a href="http://pressforward.org/">PressForward</a> to the <a href="http://911digitalarchive.org/">September 11 Digital Archive</a> to the popular <a href="http://www.zotero.org/">Zotero</a> research tool.</p>
<p>I received my bachelor’s degree from <a href="http://www.princeton.edu/">Princeton</a>, a master’s from <a href="http://www.harvard.edu/">Harvard</a>, and my doctorate from <a href="http://www.yale.edu/">Yale</a>. (See my <a href="http://www.dancohen.org/cv/">CV</a> for a complete record of my academic career.)</p>

Biographical Text
I have to give credit to Roy Rosenzweig (August 6, 1950 – October 11, 2007), who was an historian at George Mason University. Roy paved the path for my career in website management, development and design by first hiring me as a part-time freelancers to convert Corel WordPerfect documents into HTML pages and catalog hundreds of images for "Exploring the French Revolution CD-ROM and website project. He was so excited about the Internet and how it would change the way students and the general population could learn history and make it more engaging. The end result of his passion was the creation of Center for History and New Media, which uses digital media and computer technology to encourage participation in presenting and preserving the past. His unwavering support and belief in my abilities to quickly learn new things is what makes me want to help small businesses and organizations leverage Internet and mobile technologies to build better relationships with their users and to increase company productivity, efficiency and profitability. His vision and leadership for what could be accomplished is what continues to inspire me today and drives my passion for designing, developing, and delivering fabulous, clean, and usable websites and web applications.

Biographical Text
Finnefrock received her M.A. in History at Mason in 2002. During her time at Mason she worked at the Center of History and New Media—now named the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media after its founder and our late colleague, Roy Rosenzweig. Finnefrock worked with faculty to make courses and course materials available on the Internet before major course management systems became widely used on college campuses, and she participated in several projects aimed at helping students to think critically about the Internet as a resource and educational tool. After leaving the Center of History and New Media, Finnefrock worked at the Library of Congress to help make the Library’s American Memory Collection resources accessible to K-12 teachers and students. In 2002 Finnefrock moved to Blackboard, Inc., the education technology company whose products are now an essential part of the lives of most of our students and teachers. She is now Senior Vice President for Product Development at Blackboard. She leads Blackboard’s development efforts and serves as a member of Blackboard’s corporate executive team. She is now Blackboard’s longest-serving product development chief. She oversees an annual budget of more than $28 million and 180 full-time product development staff members working in locations across the globe.

Biographical Text
Before I came to George Mason University in 2001 to join the faculty of the history & new media program, I spent seven years at Montana State University and eleven years at the University of Maine. Historians are fond of saying that a history major is a versatile major. Proof of concept: I spent my last year at the University of Maine as chair of the Department of Mathematics & Statistics. My research interests concern the history of women and the family in the American West, the US toy industry, the development of domestic law, and the application of digital technology to teaching history and historical research (not necessarily in that order). Predictably, my teaching reflects these areas of expertise. In the past, I have received a Fulbright Fellowship to the United Kingdom, an NEH Fellowship, an Apple Computer Faculty Internship, and a Smithsonian Fellowship, among others, in addition to the Paladin and Oscar O. Winther prizes. I am orginally from Montana, have three cats—Gray Mowit, Dakota, and Wing.
