*ACM Opens First 50 Years Backfile*
*April 7, 2022*
ACM has opened the articles published during the first 50 years of its
publishing program. These articles, published between 1951 and the end of
2000, are now open and freely available to view and download via the ACM
Digital Library.
ACM’s first 50 years backfile contains more than 117,500 articles on a wide
range of computing topics. In addition to articles published between 1951
and 2000, ACM has also opened related and supplemental materials including
data sets, software, slides, audio recordings, and videos.
“We at ACM are especially proud to make this announcement now as we
celebrate the 75th anniversary of our organization,” said ACM President
Gabriel Kotsis. “ACM has published many of the foundational works by
pioneers of the computing field, and we are delighted to share this
treasure trove with the world. And in doing so, we take another large step
in our evolution to become a fully open access publisher.”
Making the first 50 years of its publications and related content freely
available expresses ACM’s commitment to open access publication and
represents another milestone in our transition to full open access within
the next five years.
