1. Steven Bird, ACL Anthology and ACL Anthology Fund

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
- donor: under $1000

Sponsors will be recognized by name and/or institution on the website,
on the DVD, and also in public at the conference.

In order to support this effort please send a check, made out to the
ACL Anthology Fund, to

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 (sbldc.upenn.edu) to have
their papers removed.
