[Linganth] Using library repositories as archives for linguistic data

[Vanessa Will]

As a linguisitc anthroplogy PhD who is now working as an IRB administrator,
I want to echo the need to inquire with your local IRB regarding the
feasibility of this plan. The problem with audio- and especially
video-recordings is that they can't be fully de-identified, and unless you
received permission to allow more or less public access, making them
available this way may not be compatible with federal regulations.

I would also recommend checking carefully what you stated regarding data
management in your IRB application for the project(s) under which the data
were collected. If you stated that recordings would be erased/destroyed at
a specified point in time, which many IRBs require, they may not be yours
to donate and doing so could make you vulnerable to audit for
non-compliance.
