MindFest Brochure, 1995. UPUB I1 Institutional Advancement Records, Box 8, Folder 30, University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD)

Between the late 1990s and the early 2000s, UMBC hosted MindFest, an annual event advertised as "a celebration of the powers of idea and information." The first MindFest, held in 1995, was created to celebrate the opening of the newly renovated Albin O. Kuhn Library with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, tours of the library, and views of the newly renovated gallery. The university continued the celebration yearly, offering various events and activities for students, their families, friends, alumni, and the surrounding Baltimore and Washington communities to participate in.

Events of the day often included Chessfest (UMBC's Chess Team would participate in a match of chess with another university), Diplomat for a Day (visitors would participate in simulated diplomatic debates with the UMBC Model United Nations team), tours of art and photography exhibitions, musical performances, and children's activities.

Kuhn Library & Gallery is excited to announce the release of new and updated records for the Library’s archival collections, a major milestone in providing easier searching of the holdings. The 16-month-long project creates collection-level records and implements an Encoded Archival Description (EAD-XML) compliant workflow for the collections.

As of January 2016, Library staff have successfully updated over 100 finding aids and collection-level records, and created new collection-level records for nearly 50 previously-undescribed archival collections. A workflow was created to convert records to both EAD-XML and MARC-XML formats using national descriptive standards. These records will be made available in multiple access systems including the Library Catalog, the Special Collections Search (PastPerfect Online), and through union catalogs such as OCLC’s ArchiveGrid and the National Library of Medicine’s History of Medicine Finding Aids Consortium. The updated records will facilitate access to UMBC’s archival collections and help to more effectively reach the researchers, scholars, students, and community members that are seeking the unique materials held at UMBC.

Newly-described collections contain a wide range of materials, including:

These new and updated collections are now searchable from the Special Collections page on the Library’s redesigned website, as well as through the Library Catalog. Users can also browse the full list of archival collections on our new Finding Aids page.

The project is funded by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), the granting agency of the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), as a part of their Documenting Democracy: Access to Historical Records program. Library staff from the Special Collections, Bibliographic & Metadata Services, Library Information Technology Services, and Reference departments partnered on the creation and accessibility of the records. In future months the project will allow us to further streamline the updated workflow and continue to create and update new collection records.

Retriever Media Guide: Soccer, 1978. UPUB A7-017 University Publications, University Archives, Special Collections, University of Maryland, Baltimore County (Baltimore, MD) 

The very first intercollegiate game played by UMBC was in soccer in 1966. The newly formed team played against University of Maryland, College Park, losing 4 to 1. Soccer, as well as lacrosse and baseball, were among the first intercollegiate teams to be inaugurated by UMBC's athletic department within UMBC's first year of operation. Basketball would soon follow spurred by the pressing demands of UMBC students. Just ten years later, in 1977, the soccer team would also become the first team at UMBC to compete in a postseason NCAA tournament (see photograph below).
