The Winston Tabb Special Collections Research Center advances experimental research methods, public humanities scholarship, and collaborative approaches to knowledge creation that engage the Sheridan Libraries’ rare books, archives, and manuscripts at Johns Hopkins University. Through interdisciplinary and community-engaged initiatives, the Tabb Center connects scholarly inquiry with public dialogue, bridging the resources of the university with the broader community.
The Tabb Center offers opportunities for student-initiated learning inside and outside the classroom. Semester-long, community-based, intersession, and SOUL courses delve into a wide array of topics through the analysis of archives, performance, and media.
We welcome partnerships and collaborations that align with our mission to bridge academic scholarship with community-engaged research and the arts. We invite students, faculty, staff, and community members to contact us with interest in partnering and request co-sponsorship to support research initiatives, artistic projects, and performances that expand and enrich the ways knowledge is produced and shared in Baltimore.
