Where you can find Miranda information and code

This portal documents the human and technical development processes that made the Miranda project possible. The Miranda prototype was made public in fall 2017, with an alpha release in May 2018 and a beta launch in January 2019. The grant period concluded at the end of February 2020, and the platform will be retired in fall 2023.

This portal contains information about what is currently available on the Miranda platform and outlines some of the work completed throughout the project. For technical (and technical-leaning) folks, there is also information on how the platform itself works, how to interact with the platform's APIs, and the platform's data model.

The code repository for Miranda as well as the 2017 Miranda prototype is available on Github under the MIT License.

Our technical partners for this project were ParsonsTKO and Aplyca Technologia. The Miranda project was made possible with generous support from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
