Based in Rockville, Maryland, Montgomery History has been preserving and sharing the rich heritage of Montgomery County, Maryland, USA, since 1944. Through exhibits, events, education programs, and research services, the organization connects people with the county’s past and supports historical awareness across the community.
Migration to a modern and managed platform
Montgomery History previously maintained a self-hosted DSpace repository to store and share digital materials. To ensure long-term sustainability and reduce the internal technical burden, they made the decision to migrate their repository to DSpace Express.
The Montgomery County History Digital Repository (MCHDR) collects, preserves, and distributes digital materials of and about Montgomery County, from photographs and documents to audiovisual files and more. With this migration, MCHDR is now backed by Atmire’s professional hosting, ongoing maintenance, upgrades, and support, allowing the team at Montgomery History to focus on content curation and community engagement.
Fast, supported, and ready to grow
By choosing DSpace Express, Montgomery History now benefits from:
✅ A fully hosted and managed DSpace repository
✅ Smooth migration of existing content from their in-house instance
✅ Regular updates and expert technical support
✅ A sustainable platform built for long-term growth
