Subject: [Lexicog] popular lexicography



i am searching for a concept that might describe lexicography done by 
non-linguists/non-lexicographers.  my only thought at the moment is 
"popular lexicography".  i am trying to conceptualize the 
social/historical situation for Chinook Jargon (a pidgin in the Pacific 
Northwest, USA) where over a hundred dictionaries were published by 
local historians, enthusiasts, army personel, etc.  if there is a 
published source worth looking into (or if you have ideas on this) 
please let me know.
