The "Follow the Fringe Project" collection documents the course twice offered by UMD’s iSchool during the summers of 2013 and 2014. Conceived and taught by Professor Mary Edsall Choquette (b. 1955-d. 2015), the INST 729F course, as she described it, "introduces students to the fundamentals of documentation and preservation of, and access to performance activity information. It specifically focuses on documentation and preservation of movement phenomena
performed at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2013, in Edinburgh, Scotland." The collection consists of papers and born digital content. Papers include fliers, festival guides, ephemera, and documentation pertaining to the course. Born digital content includes oral histories, performances, and sightseeing footage.
