Looking for readings on sustainability issues and strategies for digital humanities projects. I've read articles from the Digital Humanities Quarterly cluster on "Done", but was wondering if there are others?
Thanks in advance!
Recommended readings on sustainability in digital humanities?

The Blue Ribbon Task Force report is required reading on the economics of digital preservation in any field.
I don't actually agree with it much, but I'd be remiss in not recommending Ithaka's Funding Sustainable Digital Resources as well. (My beef is the overhead involved in everybody swapping money around to everybody else. I'd rather see all libraries take responsibility for locally-produced digital resources. I believe that'll scale better and be less hassle.)
While not on-point in its entirety, Christine Borgmann's "The Digital Future Is Now" also speaks to this question.
(sorry for the repeated edits; keep thinking of new stuff to recommend!)

MemberA recent project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada examined the question of sustaining digital humanities work. Our report, Lasting Change: Sustaining Digital Scholarship and Culture in Canada, is necessarily fairly high-level and selective in its bibliography, which tries to include all the sources that we found most useful, but our full bibliography is a public Zotero group, Sustaining Scholarship and Culture.
