ALTA, whose national offices are
located at the Center for Translation Studies at The
University of Texas at Dallas, was founded in 1978 to
provide essential services to literary translators from
all languages and to create a professional forum for the
exchange of ideas on the art and craft of translation. Through annual conferences, newsletters, collaboration with other professional organizations and lobbying efforts, ALTA works to enhance the quality and status of literary translation and to improve the market for the publication of works in English translation. ALTA services are
currently supported by grants from the National Endowment
for the Arts. The national offices of ALTA are located in
the McDermott Library on the Campus of the University of
Texas at Dallas. updated 9-25-2000 Site maintained by melshelton@comcast.net
