<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Some (perhaps now all) of the Luce stuff is available here:<a href="http://sealang.net/archives/luce/" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk89846" previewremoved="true"> http://sealang.net/archives/luce/</a></p>

<p>Paul kindly provided me with all the Luce materials I needed when I was working on my PhD. I managed to figure out dates for most of the ones I used as noted in the references on pages 100-101 here: <a href="http://stedt.berkeley.edu/pubs_and_prods/STEDT_Monograph10_Proto-Northern-Chin.pdf" class="OWAAutoLink" id="LPlnk603072" previewremoved="true">http://stedt.berkeley.edu/pubs_and_prods/STEDT_Monograph10_Proto-Northern-Chin.pdf</a></p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I have copies of anything listed there if not available online. Luce's "Common form in Burma Chin Languages" and "Glossary of Pre-Standard Old Burmese" were particularly outstanding.<br>

> This is great. And it reminds me that Paul Sidwell and I collaborated quite some years ago to pay for the scanning of all of Gordon Luce’s notes and papers. I paid for all the TB stuff to be scanned, and Paul paid for the rest. I have a hard drive with 161
GB of the scans (I only have the TB materials—see the attached list; Paul may have already made the rest available somewhere). I never did anything with the language data (e.g. Qiang) because there wasn’t enough metadata to know what variety he was talking
about or even what his symbols meant. I just kind of forgot about it until now. I am very happy to make it available to anyone who wants it, but currently I have no way to make it available, but I’ll see if I can use my wife’s DropBox account to make it available
on line (she has 1T of space!) if people think it might be useful.<br>
