> 1. Do you know of recordings of small or endangered languages that are
> not yet digitised? These could be in personal collections or in
> established repositories that do not plan to digitise their
> collections. If so, please provide as much detail as you can about the
> number and type of recordings (reel to reel, cassette, DAT etc), the
> content, and the state of their current storage. Can you provide
> information about who to contact about these collections?
> 
> 2. Do you know of collections whose catalogs are not available through
> federated searches (that is, they are only available if you visit
> their website and not anywhere else on the web) and for which we could
> provide a reference to make it easier to find them?
> 
> 3. Do you know of repositories of manuscripts that have received
> little attention from linguists but which are likely, in your opinion,
> to have linguistic records in them? These may include, for example,
> missionary archives or State administrative archives.
> 
> 4. Please include your name and contact email so we can follow up with
> you if necessary (email addresses will not be added to any lists).
