Until service is restored, the campus is operating without our 100gbit/s high speed link to the Internet 2 research and education network, and one of our 10gbit/s links to the Internet. We still have a full 10gbit/s link to the Internet and can reach all of the Internet 2 connected sites through this remaining connection. 

At this point we are working to have the cable repaired, and hope to have news on that front as the week progresses. During this time the campus does have adequate bandwidth for all normal activities and should not see a noticeable difference in network performance, but we no longer have a redundant link outside until this cable is repaired. 

We have patched through a temporary connection to the IMET facility downtown and have restored service to that building as of late Tuesday afternoon. 

We will continue to update the campus as we have additional information. 

If you have any questions or would like to know more about this issue, please feel free to email me and I'll be happy to discuss it in more detail. 

Thank You, 

Damian

Fichter Online exhibit available now!

This online exhibit accompanies an exhibition presented at UMBC’s Albin O. Kuhn Library Gallery from August 28–December 18, 2019. The exhibition represents the first retrospective of the artist’s career in over thirty years. 

Created between 1962 and 2006, the works reproduced online are drawn entirely from the Robert W. Fichter Archive at UMBC. The selection highlights the artist’s experimental approach to examining the human condition. Employing shifting moods and mediums as well as wit, humor, and satire, Fichter delivers trenchant critiques of war, nuclear proliferation, and environmental disaster. Firmly rooting his expressive compositions in a strong sense of place—the surreal landscapes of his native Florida—he presents a singular vision of humanity on the brink.

The exhibition Experimentalist: The Art of Robert Fichter was curated by Tom Beck, Curator Emeritus. The presentation at the Library Gallery was organized by Beth Saunders, Curator and Head of Special Collections.

Online exhibit by Grace Ferguson.

Texts by Tom Beck and Beth Saunders with Grace Ferguson.

The British Union of Fascists: Newspapers and Secret Files - 1933-1951. 
provided by the British Online Archives.

These papers cover the growth of the British Union of Fascists and the impact of World War II upon them.  The documents include both their official publications and the imprisonment of their leader Oswald Mosley. 

The pre-war fascist newspapers include Fascist week, The Blackshirt and The East London Pioneer. Action was published from February 1936 until June 1940, by which point a growing number of the BUF were interned. Sir Oswald and Lady Diane Mosley’s imprisonment caused much debate. These papers include government records of why they were arrested and Oswald Mosley’s time in prison, with additional files.

The trial will run until October 15, 2019 and access is available on and off-campus. 

Feedback on the content and usability of the database is encouraged.
