THATCamp stands for "The Humanities and Technology Camp." Its creators refer to it as an "unconference." They do this to distinguish themselves from typical humanities conferences, in which the reading of papers and overly-thick academia lessens the helpfulness and practicality of it all. The website gives a number of bullets describing the idea: THATCamp is "collaborative, informal, spontaneous, timely, productive, lightweight, inexpensive to organize, not-for-profit, small, non-hierarchical, non-disciplinary, inter-professional, open, online, fun, and engaging. It expresses its desire to not only attract scholars, but people with a broad diversity of backgrounds and skills.

This is a guest blogpost on the Initiative for Digital Humanities, Media, and Culture (IDHMC) website of TAMU, written by Dr. Jacob heil, a post-doctoral researcher for the IDHMC. He writes in an attempt to express the early modernist's perspective of DH. He starts by discussing the issue of definition ("in" or "out"), His opinion is that, "To my mind, I'm not 'in' or 'out' of DH; I'm just doing my work." He embraces the popular ethos of collaboration and a dedication to open-access, though he admits they might be ideals. He argues that reasearch should become resource, speaking of the way in which teachers share their research.

centerNet defines itself as an "International Network of Digital Humanities Centers." It has added over 200 members from about 100 centers in 19 countries since its foundation in 2007. Basically, they're attempting to centralize all of Digital Humanities into a single vast network. They aim to be inclusive and avoid defining digital humanities concretely. Instead, they only suggest that "a "center" should be larger than a single project, and it should have some history or promise of persistence." The projects can be found by a keyword search, by region, or by clicking on an interactive GoogleMap. The network isn't as flooded as you think; only 200 entries exist on the site as of today, but each one is of very high quality.
