[Linganth] Using library repositories as archives for linguistic data

[Harriet J Ottenheimer]

I highly recommend Indiana University for archiving linguistic 
anthropological materials. Ours, from the Comoro Islands, are there; 
field tapes and notes and transcriptions at the Archives of Traditional 
Music, books and papers at the Library. They have been most helpful. The 
ATM even digitized all of our old reel-to-reel tapes for us so that we 
could keep collectors' copies.  --Harriet
