In January 2005, The Jane Henson Foundation and The Jim Henson Legacy generously donated videos and funding to support the creation of what is now known as The Jim Henson Works at the University of Maryland. This collection makes available to UM’s community of students, scholars, and visitors over 70 digital videos spanning 35 years of Henson’s groundbreaking work in television and film. These full-length videos are available for viewing at public computer stations in the Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library, McKeldin Library, and Hornbake Library.

The University provides a wide range of research opportunities into Henson's work and puppetry in the performing arts. It also hosts exhibits and websites, develops interactive interpretive content, and takes part in celebrations of Jim Henson's life.

The Michelle Smith Performing Arts Library also launched Jim Henson: Performing Artist, on September 22, 2006 featuring Muppets and many behind-the-scenes photographs.
