Credits: The Bridges Archive was created in 2013 by Craig S. Kaplan. It builds upon the considerable efforts of Robert Craig and Simon Luhur, who created the Bridges Proceedings Index Search web page and maintained it from 1998 until 2007. Thanks especially to Robert Craig for a significant amount of data entry in preparing old papers for the Archive. Thanks also to Nathan Selikoff for suggesting the Bootstrap website framework, and to Robert Fathauer and Reza Sarhangi for providing bibliographic publishing information for old proceedings volumes. Thanks to Tom Verhoeff for his help in formatting and curating BibTeX data.
