数字人文研究项目的可持续性是人文计算领域亟待解决的问题。目前，即使是建立良好的大型数字项目，如语言学地图集项目（LAP），也面临着未来的风险，因为资金和其他资源取决于拨款资金或主任的教师地位，这两者都不一定能长期维持项目。然而，大学图书馆的任务包括存档和传播，现在越来越多的数字材料和传统的纸张。在当前环境下，与大学图书馆合作是数字人文项目长期可持续发展的唯一现实选择。与只需要安全存储的纸质收藏不同，数字项目还需要适应新的电子媒体和操作环境的手段。甚至数据存储也要求来自数字项目的材料包含在图书馆媒体更新周期中，这将包括随着技术的发展将旧数据转移到新媒体上。像LAP这样的项目应该提供资源来帮助图书馆开始项目存档，包括工作人员的时间和设备的资金。必须提供项目元数据，并尽可能与图书馆系统和查找辅助工具相结合。项目人员还需要维护一个网站和为项目开发的工具。这种合作导致了数字机构资源库的发展，其中研究成果和工具可以保存在图书馆中，不仅仅是人文学科，而是跨许多学科。
The sustainability of digital humanities research projects is a pressing issue for humanities computing. Currently, even well-established large digital projects like the Linguistic Atlas Project (LAP) are at future risk because funding and other resources are contingent on grant funding or faculty status of the director, neither of which will necessarily be available to maintain the project over time. The mission of the university library, however, includes archiving and dissemination, now increasingly of digital materials as well as traditional paper. Collaboration with the university library is the only realistic option for long-term sustainability of digital humanities projects in the current environment. Unlike paper collections, which only require secure storage, digital projects also require the means of adaptation to new electronic media and operating environments. Even data storage requires that materials from digital projects be included in library media refresh cycles, which will include transfer of old data to new media as technology develops. Projects like LAP should provide resources to assist the library in starting the project archive, including staff time, and funding for equipment. Project metadata must be provided and, to the extent possible, integrated with library systems and finding aids. Project staff will also need to maintain a Web presence and tools developed for the project. Such cooperation leads toward the development of a digital institutional repository, in which research results and tools may be maintained in the library, not just for the humanities but across many disciplines.
