The Digital Humanities & Video Game Studies Lab (located in Mantor Library’s Mezzanine) at the University of Maine at Farmington was launched in August 2018 to provide hands-on support for the integration of digital platforms into university curricula. At this time, we offer walk-in hours to assist students and faculty with free platforms: ArcGIS StoryMaps, Audacity, Canva, CapCut, Electric Zine Maker, and Spotify. We also have high-powered computers, podcasting equipment, video production equipment, and Nintendo Switches available for student use.

Our hours for Fall 2026 are: Monday, 11-2 and 4:30-8:30; Tuesday, 8-11 and 12:30-4; Wednesday, 8-11 and 2-4:30; Thursday, 8-11 and 2-5; Friday, 12-5.

If you would like to schedule an instructional session or discuss another digital tool for use in your courses or projects, email stephen.grandchamp@maine.edu.
