About ACH and ALLC
ACH
The Association for Computers and the Humanities is an international professional organization. Since its establishment, it has been a major professional society for people working in computer-aided research in literature and language studies, history, philosophy, and other humanities disciplines, and especially research involving the manipulation and analysis of textual materials. The ACH is devoted to disseminating information among its membership about work in the field of humanities computing, as well as encouraging the development and dissemination of significant textual and linguistic resources and software for scholarly research. Find out more about ACH at www.ach.org.
ALLC
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 image processing and electronic editions. The membership is international, is drawn from across the humanities disciplines, and includes students and established scholars alike. Their web address is: www.allc.org.
