• The ACM SIGGRAPH History Archive is a comprehensive reflection of the evolution of the field of computer graphics from a niche research and creative endeavor to an integral aspect of our daily lives. This institutional presentation focuses on the ACM SIGGRAPH History Archive and the progress made over the past year. The expansion of the archive from containing only digital art and art-related papers to now showcasing information about animations, emerging technology demos, virtual reality experiences, technical papers and so much more has amplified the workload as well as expanded the audience for this vastly informative resource. Over the past year, thousands of new entries were added, along with images, abstracts, and additional information. With the goal of showcasing this archive at the 50th SIGGRAPH conference celebration in Los Angeles, USA in Aug. 2023, we have amplified our efforts. Thousands of entries still need to be added and we are still missing many primary source materials. Our ultimate goal is to not only complete the data entry but also add the coding necessary to connect to other new media art archives around the world.
