The Electronic Literature Organisation (ELO) is a nonprofit organisation initiated in 1999 to promote the creation and enjoyment of electronic literature. Until 2005, the organisation was based at the University of California, Los Angeles. The organisation was founded by electronic author Scott Rettberg, novelist Robert Coover, and internet business leader Jeff Ballowe. The current president of the Board of Directors is Joe Tabbi.

Activities

The activities of the organisation include:

• Maintaining the Electronic Literature Directory, a listing of electronic works and their authors.
• Publishing the Electronic Literature Collection, an edited anthology of electronic literature. The first volume was released under a Creative Commons licence in 2006.
• Preservation, Archiving, and Dissemination (PAD) project to archive notable and threatened works.
• Holding the 2001 Electronic Literature Awards for fiction and poetry.
• Hosting readings, symposia and other outreach events such as the MACHINE series (since 2004) to publicise electronic literature.
