Text Analysis Recipes is a collection of guides on how to do humanities research with text analysis tools.

Text Analysis Developers Alliance is a wiki with information about text analysis.

InterFACE is a research investigation that adopts a case study model to examine the viability of personas as a design methodology to enrich and inform the creation of the interface for a text analysis research portal, such as TAPoR.
