The ALLC Mission
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 and electronic editions.

Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations
The ALLC is a founding chapter - or 'constituent organisation' - of an international umbrella organisation that has been established, the Alliance of Digital Humanities Organizations [2] (ADHO). ADHO now includes ALLC, the Association for Computers and the Humanities [3] (ACH) and the Canadian digital humanities association SDH/SEMI [4] (Society for Digital Humanities/Société pour l'études des médias interactifs). ADHO has adopted ALLC's journal LLC, The Journal of Digital Scholarship in the Humanities [5], published by Oxford University Press [6], as its main print publication. Two other journals, namely DHQ (Digital Humanities Quarterly [7] and Digital Studies / Le champ numérique [8], are published under the ADHO umbrella.
