Founded in 1995, ELRA, the ELRA Language Resources Association, is a non-profit organisation whose main mission is to make Language Resources (LRs) for Human Language Technologies (HLT) available to the community at large.

To achieve this goal, ELRA carries out a wide variety of activities around LRs, including Identification & Distribution, Production & Validation, Technology Evaluation, Information Dissemination on HLT.

The membership scheme of the association now encompasses two (2) types of members:
