Meeting Description:

Language Documentation and Archiving 2024: Recent advances in language
documentation and archiving
Berlin & Online, 4-6 September 2024

Many lessons have been learned in the last 20 years of documentation
and archiving, and all over the world activists, communities,
researchers, and artists have developed documentation projects, apps,
art installations, archival collections, films, and multimedia
projects telling the many stories and histories of Indigenous
languages and their creators and keepers. This conference brings
together people working in this area to present papers, posters, and
conduct training sessions aiming to develop capacity, present new
approaches to documentation and preservation, and improve access to
primary records. It offers models of how we can create, strengthen,
enhance, and amplify language records. The conference will bring new
ideas and views together, share knowledge and support the communities
who are working to record and revitalise Indigenous languages.

Call for Papers:

Abstract submission open now, until 1 April 2024.

Authors may submit only one abstract as the first author, but they may
be collaborators on more than one abstract submission. Please note
that the poster session will be online-only.

We especially invite submissions on the following themes in language
documentation and archiving:

Building Relationships:
    - Models for building relationships and refining approaches for
collaboration with Indigenous communities
    - Legacy collections: building relationships for discovery,
preservation, and ethically-informed access
    - Critical perspectives on language archiving: post- or neo-
colonial?
    - Identifying and responding to support needs and ethical
considerations for improving the accessibility of language materials
    - Language documentation practice as a medium for Indigenous
agency and revitalization
    - Models for engaging and supporting Indigenous communities in
collaborative and community-driven documentation efforts
    - How to work with differing expectations among speech community
members

Tools and Techniques:
    - Documentary tools and practices (e.g., remote methods, tools &
methods for projects with specific foci, tools & workflows for
managing collaborative projects, etc.)
    - Indigenous ways of teaching & learning for documentation and
language support
    - Enhancing annotation practices: orthography, translation,
ethnography, and ethics
    - Improving tools to support the creation of archivable
collections (e.g., ongoing software projects)
    - Using social media and other technologies to support and promote
minoritized languages

Impacts of Documentation and Archiving:
    - Reports on how archived materials are being used by Indigenous
communities
    - What insights into language have documentary methods provided?
    - From paper to digital, the qualitative differences of language
records
    - Archives presentation/poster on what they have done over the
past decade and what they plan on doing

Planning and Design for the Decade:
    - Reports from Indigenous-led documentation, training, and
revitalization projects
    - Language archiving: current assessment and future prospects
    - Approaches and solutions for making digital archives more
navigable and engaging to Indigenous communities
    - Models for providing access where there is little or no internet
access
    - Engaging the broader public through artistic and educational
initiatives drawing on archived language materials
    - Revising OLAC metadata and other standards for accessible
archiving

On the two days preceding the conference, September 2-3, 2024 there
will be free online trainings in language documentation and archiving
topics. The conference will also be preceded by an online workshop on
using historical texts in language revitalisation.
