archived Osage?

Wed May 14 18:33:41 UTC 2014

Aloha all,
Just some musings from the sideline…David and Justin’s questions about where Carolyn’s materials may be reminds me of Bob Rankin’s recent urging to all of us. TRANSCRIBE our field notes, recordings, etc. as the first step to making those data more useful to researchers, community programs, and families. Create some sort of index system or finding aid and place copies in appropriate digital media archive(s).

We all know how the black hole of resources needed for transcribing is hard to estimate for grant-proposals. Some sort of template would really be helpful in calculating time required and labor for data entry.

Just a reminder of Bob’s call to get field notes, elicitation recordings, etc. dusted off and converted into appropriate media…whatever fits for the particular data.

David,

If there are transcriptions available, I've never seen them. Still, if memory serves, her dictionary provides evidence of a rather extensive coding system after each example pulled from her data. I believe early drafts of her grammar did, too. While this doesn't necessarily prove that she transcribed the whole of her recordings, it does suggest that she at least worked out a coding scheme for doing so. It's completely possible, then, that there are transcriptions (full or partial) floating around somewhere. I don't know who might have them if they do exist. Hadn't she planned to donate much or all of her materials to the Osage Nation for safe keeping after her death? If so, I don't know if that ever happened, but there are folks here in town I could ask.

All the best,
-Justin

Hi, everyone,
        When Carolyn Quintero was working on her Osage grammar and dictionary, she had funding from NSF for which I was the nominal PI.  In part because of that connection, she gave me a set of over 100 cassette tapes of her interviews with speakers and some of their stories, as well as some miscellaneous stuff (like the recording of a radio program).  Does anyone on the list know whether these were ever transcribed and if so, where those transcriptions might be?  It's possible that Carolyn just used her knowledge of the spoken language to pick examples off the tapes, rather than making full written transcriptions.  However, it's going to be hard for anyone else to make use of these tapes if we don't have the transcriptions.
        Thanks for any help you can give us.
        Best,
        David
