This
article examines digital humanities (DH) centers as focal points of the
interdisciplinary transfer of knowledge. It is based on the assumption that the
manner in which the knowledge-transfer activities of DH communities are
facilitated affects the knowledge they produce. Following an analysis of eight
semi-structured interviews of directors, researchers, and administrators, the
article considers how DH professionals describe the facilitation of the
interdisciplinary transfer of knowledge in DH centers. It demonstrates that the
transfer of knowledge in DH centers is based on overlapping layers of organic
networks and stable organizational structures that support various kinds of
knowledge-sharing practices. The transfer of knowledge in DH centers combines
the exchange of ideas in the same physical space with online communication at
various levels, ranging from outside academia to the internal communication of
a research group. Further, the factors that enable information flow also have
the capability to restrict potentially meaningful information from entering
into the field. As a result, this article suggests that it is important to
continue the discussion on the boundaries for the transfer of knowledge in DH.
