Zotero is a free, easy-to-use tool to help you collect, organize, cite, and share research. Created at CHNM in 2006, Zotero and is used by millions of people every day all around the world, making it one of the most successful pieces of software ever built for the humanities. In 2013, several faculty from RRCHNM (and several others) started a new non-profit corporation, the Corporation for Digital Scholarship, to take over the work on Zotero and since then that non-profit has been responsible for all aspects of the development of Zotero.
