NITLE Digital Humanities

Home » How We Can Help » NITLE Digital Humanities

To adapt a turn of phrase from William Gibson, the digital humanities are here, albeit unevenly distributed. NITLE’s strategic initiative in the digital humanities focuses on finding pockets of innovation in the liberal arts community and connecting these dots into a coherent, collaborative effort. Its goal is two-fold: to advance the development of digital humanities at liberal arts colleges and promote the valuable contributions these colleges make to and within the broader digital humanities movement.

    THATCamp Liberal Arts Colleges 2011
    February 21
    As NITLE notes on the front page of their Initiative in Digital Humanities, “the digital humanities are here, albeit unevenly distributed.” Those doing digital humanities work at smaller schools face particular challenges. Without the infrastructure of a digital humanities center (and its attendant support staff), liberal arts college scholars embarked on digital projects can feel very isolated.
