The Digital Harbor Foundation was founded in 2011 by Sean Lane. Originally begun as an organization to award scholarships, Digital Harbor evolved into a digital literacy nonprofit that seeks to build the local technology workforce. Digital Harbor celebrated its grand opening in January 2013 at 1045 Light Street, site of the former South Baltimore Recreation Center. A collection of Baltimore City recreation center photographs found at the site was subsequently transferred to Lansdale Library Special Collections.
