Esther Ok on 16 Oct 12This article specifically analyzes the growth of digital humanities and divides it's lifespan into four parts: Computer Centers (late 1940s through the present), Scholarly Societies and Journals (mid-1960s through the present), Standards efforts (late 1980s to present), Library Digitization & Digital Humanities Centers (1990s to present.) The author dissects what occurs in each time frame beginning with Father Busa's 1949 St. Thomas Aquinas index to the creation of the Blake Archive in 2005.
