[Lingtyp] Fwd: Your message to Alt awaits moderator approval

=========================================
Dear ALT Community (apologies for cross-posting this on other list-servs):

This message is aimed at those members of the ALT community who direct or
participate in language documentation projects.

I am fully aware that many contemporary language documentation projects
include as an outcome the deposit of some or all materials in one (or more)
archives, whether at the researcher’s home institution, or with the
language community, or with other archival resources like
ELAR/PARADISEC/Kaipuleohone/DELAMAN (and others).

I’m requesting information on a somewhat different (but still related)
outcome: web pages that are in essence “project home pages” for a language
documentation initiative. These may or may not link to archived materials.
They may also (or instead) have pages or links to other aspects of the
documentation efforts, including selected materials, pictures, project team
member profiles, blogs, and/or news releases. Here are some selected
examples of what I already know about:

1. (my own project page for my collaborative work in Manang, Nepal)
https://mananglanguages.isg.siue.edu/

2. David Rood’s Wichita project: http://www.colorado.e
du/linguistics/faculty/rood-old/Wichita/index.html

3. Juliette Blevins and Andrew Garrett’s Yurok project:
http://linguistics.berkeley.edu/~yurok/index.php

5. Alan Yu’s Washo project: https://lucian.uchicago.edu/blogs/washo/

5. Suzanne Cook and Barry Carlson’s Lacandon project: http://web.uvic.ca/la
candon/

6. The various language projects housed at Living Tongues:
http://www.livingtongues.org/projects.html

I would greatly appreciate hearing from other project directors with
“project pages” to share their links with me. Beyond a partial (but still
great) listing provided by RNLD (http://www.rnld.org/documentation_projects)
I do not believe there is a central clearing house for links to past (still
online) and current project pages (although I know that many other
resources, for example Linguist List offer links to sites like Glottolog
and Endangered Languages Project). And even some of those projects on RNLD
are either no longer functioning or else perhaps they have relocated and
the links are not yet updated. So any updates would be welcome, too!

I ask because I have two undergraduate interns working with me (with NSF
REU funding, so thank you NSF DEL!) to conceptualize of and design a
combination project exhibit and local archive to house materials from my
NSF-funded RAPID (Nepal earthquake narratives project) that are not already
committed to other archival facilities (we will be using Omeka.org, for the
archive itself, which has licenses distributed from our university’s ITS
office). The project exhibit will be a Word Press page (our university also
has WP instances), and this entire project will be housed at the home
institution (so it will be an example of a local, small-scale exhibit and
archive, designed and built by undergraduate linguistics and computer
science majors, housed and maintained at my place of employment).

Beyond the project pages I’m already familiar with (and the larger archival
centers), I’m keen to hear about other pages that are out there to share
with my interns as they begin imagining the theme and architecture. As you
can imagine, they are very excited to get started!

I appreciate any additional information or links you can offer.
