=========================================
Dear ALT Community (apologies for cross-posting this on other list-servs):


 
  
This message is aimed at those members of the ALT community who direct or participate in language documentation projects.
 
I am fully aware that many contemporary language documentation projects include as an outcome the deposit of some or all materials in one (or more) archives, whether at the researcher’s home institution, or with  the language community, or with other archival resources like ELAR/PARADISEC/Kaipuleohone/DELAMAN (and others).
 
I’m requesting information on a somewhat different (but still related) outcome: web pages that are in essence “project home pages” for a language documentation  initiative. These may or may not link to archived materials. They may also (or instead) have pages or links to other aspects of the documentation efforts, including selected materials, pictures, project team member profiles, blogs, and/or news releases. Here  are some selected examples of what I already know about:
 
1. (my own project page for my collaborative work in Manang, Nepal) https://mananglanguages.isg.siue.edu/
 
 
2. David Rood’s Wichita project: http://www.colorado.edu/linguistics/faculty/rood-old/Wichita/index.html
 
3. Juliette Blevins and Andrew Garrett’s Yurok project: http://linguistics.berkeley.edu/~yurok/index.php
 
5. Alan Yu’s Washo project: https://lucian.uchicago.edu/blogs/washo/
 
5. Suzanne Cook and Barry Carlson’s Lacandon project: http://web.uvic.ca/lacandon/
 
6. The various language projects housed at Living Tongues: http://www.livingtongues.org/projects.html
 
I would greatly appreciate hearing from other project directors with “project pages” to share their links with me. Beyond a partial (but still great) listing  provided by RNLD (http://www.rnld.org/documentation_projects) I do not believe there is a central clearing house for links to past (still online) and current project pages (although  I know that many other resources, for example Linguist List offer links to sites like Glottolog and Endangered Languages Project). And even some of those projects on RNLD are either no longer functioning or else perhaps they have relocated and the links are  not yet updated. So any updates would be welcome, too!
 
I ask because I have two undergraduate interns working with me (with NSF REU funding, so thank you NSF DEL!) to conceptualize of and design a combination project exhibit and local archive to house materials from  my NSF-funded RAPID (Nepal earthquake narratives project) that are not already committed to other archival facilities (we will be using Omeka.org, for the archive itself, which has licenses distributed from our university’s ITS office). The project exhibit  will be a Word Press page (our university also has WP instances), and this entire project will be housed at the home institution (so it will be an example of a local, small-scale exhibit and archive, designed and built by undergraduate linguistics and computer  science majors, housed and maintained at my place of employment).
 
 
Beyond the project pages I’m already familiar with (and the larger archival centers), I’m keen to hear about other pages that are out there to share with my interns  as they begin imagining the theme and architecture. As you can imagine, they are very excited to get started!
 
I appreciate any additional information or links you can offer.
