The Association for Computational Linguistics (ACL) is very pleased to
announce the ACL Anthology and the ACL Anthology Fund.
To commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Association for Computational
Linguistics, the ACL is currently digitizing all ACL and COLING conference
proceedings, all ACL Chapter proceedings, the journal Computational
Linguistics, all ACL and COLING workshop proceedings, etc. All materials
will be published on the web with open access. A DVD publication is also
planned.
The first stage of the anthology consists of two decades of conference
proceedings: 39 volumes, one 2'6" / 75cm shelf, 2,100 papers, 13,000 pages.
These materials, and a description of the digitization project, are
available from:
http://acl.ldc.upenn.edu/ (temporary site only)
The ACL requests your help to support this effort financially. The ACL has
requested donations from institutions and individuals around the world,
including the EU, ARDA, NSF, DARPA, the DFKI, USC/ISI, and others. ACL has
created four sponsorship levels:
- gold: $10,000 and over
- silver: $5000 to $9999
- bronze: $1000 to $4999

Sponsors will be recognized by name and/or institution on the website, on

Copyright??
The ACL and ICCL hold copyright on all the volumes being scanned. However,
in the case of proceedings volumes, this copyright only applies to the
compilation; the copyright of the individual papers remains with the
authors. It is the intention of the ACL to disseminate all of these
materials for free public access, to house them in a permanent digital
archive, and to publish them on DVD. Any authors who object to having their
ACL or COLING papers included in the anthology should contact Steven Bird
(sb@ldc.upenn.edu) to have their papers removed.
