[Linganth] Using library repositories as archives for linguistic data

[Karen Pennesi]

Hi,

 

I wonder about confidentiality and research ethics. At my university, we have to ensure confidentiality and that no one have access to the data except project personnel. If I wanted to make the recordings and transcripts public, I would have to put that in the consent form for the participants to sign before the recording. So I would check with your research ethics board as well as the participants themselves to see if making the data public is acceptable.

Cyndi, I think this is a great idea. As linguistic anthropology takes more and more interest in history, recordings like yours become key resources. You might want to contact Indiana University's library for information on how they work with their field recordings and other ethnographic material.  They have a really important collection.

 

all best, Leila

My university and many others are in the process of setting up "institutional repositories" as a way for scholars to archive and make accessible their work, both published and unpublished.  I am thinking about the possibility of using my university's depository as a way to archive my digital recordings, transcripts, and translations and to make those data available for use by other scholars for research and non-commercial uses.  I'm wondering whether anyone else has any experience with doing this or any thoughts to share about its feasibility, advisability, and so forth.
