For an analysis of how the digital humanities is developing at liberal arts institutions, see “Divided and Conquered: How Multivarious Isolation Is Suppressing Digital Humanities Scholarship” (.pdf). This NITLE white paper by Rebecca Frost Davis and Quinn Dombrowski is based on interviews with liberal arts faculty, technologists, and librarians about the state of digital humanities on their campuses. It was recently reviewed by Digital Humanities International.
