The recent American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) report on Cyberinfrastructure for the humanities and social sciences, Our Cultural Commonwealth, highlighted the importance of digital humanities centers as central building blocks for scholarship in the 21st century. The early pioneering digital humanities centers vary greatly in mission and location within universities. Some are in libraries, others are tied to departments, and others are fundamentally interdisciplinary. At some schools, existing humanities centers have begun to transform themselves for the digital age. This breakout session will look at the various models and divergent missions of digital humanities centers and explore the institutional and intellectual challenges involved in developing and sustaining such centers.
