[Linganth] Using library repositories as archives for linguistic data

[Kratz, Corinne]

The National Anthropological Archives and the Human Studies Film Archives (which includes sound recordings) – both at the Smithsonian – are also places where such collections can be placed. I’ve put some film from my Okiek research there and have promised my field research material.  I also worked with NAA in the past couple of years to create the Ivan Karp collection of field notes, photos, etc., with a finding guide (see attached). They would also be folks to talk to about how they work with collections.

Cyndi, I think this is a great idea. As linguistic anthropology takes more and more interest in history, recordings like yours become key resources. You might want to contact Indiana University's library for information on how they work with their field recordings and other ethnographic material.  They have a really important collection.

all best, Leila

My university and many others are in the process of setting up "institutional repositories" as a way for scholars to archive and make accessible their work, both published and unpublished.  I am thinking about the possibility of using my university's depository as a way to archive my digital recordings, transcripts, and translations and to make those data available for use by other scholars for research and non-commercial uses.  I'm wondering whether anyone else has any experience with doing this or any thoughts to share about its feasibility, advisability, and so forth.
