In 2009, the center began to focus more on scholarly communication and community-building projects. Particularly notable projects from this era of the center included the NEH-funded One Week One Tool Summer Institutes; NEH-funded Doing Digital History workshops for mid-career American historians; the Mellon-funded THATCamp unconferences; and the Sloan-funded PressForward, a WordPress plugin for online scholarly communication. The PressForward project, in particular, led to the establishment of several experimental publications including The Journal of Digital Humanities, which ran from 2011 to 2014, and Digital Humanities Now, which ran from 2009 to 2021.
