The Association for Literary and Linguistic Computing was founded in 1973 with the
purpose of supporting the application of computing in the study of language and
literature. As the range of available and relevant computing techniques in the humanities
has increased, the interests of the Association's members have necessarily broadened, to
encompass not only text analysis and language corpora, but also history, art history,
music, manuscript studies, image processing, electronic editions and much else besides.
The ALLC's membership is international, is drawn from across the humanities disciplines,
and includes students and established scholars alike.
The ALLC is a founding chapter - or 'constituent organisation' - of an
international umbrella organisation that has been established, the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations
(ADHO). ADHO now includes ALLC, the Association for
Computers and the Humanities (ACH) and the Canadian digital humanities
association SDH/SEMI (Society for Digital Humanities/Société pour l'étude des médias
interactifs). ADHO has adopted ALLC's journal LLC, The Journal for Digital Scholarship in the Humanities, published by Oxford University Press, as its main print
publication.
Membership of ALLC - and thereby of ADHO - is by subscription to LLC. Note that subscribers
are asked to select which of the ADHO associations they wish to belong to. For a small
premium, subscribers may choose to belong to all three ADHO associations as a joint
subscriber.
Each year the Association supports the international Digital Humanities
(DH) conference, sponsored by ADHO. DH 2009 will take place at the University of Maryland, USA.
