We are delighted to invite you to present your work at the 3rd
International Workshop on Digital Language Archives held online as
part of the ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries 2025
(https://2025.jcdl.org//) on December 15, 2025. The workshop will
consist of 2 live sessions scheduled to accommodate participants from
different time zones across the world. Session recordings and
transcripts will be available for workshop participants.
This interactive virtual workshop seeks to address a growing need. It
will explore a broad scope of issues related to digital language
archives -- digital libraries that preserve, curate, and provide
online access to language data. The objective of this workshop is to
bring together researchers, practitioners, educators, and students
from around the world who are already working or are interested in
working in different areas related to collecting, archiving, curating,
organizing, and providing access to born-digital or digitized language
data, and evaluation of digital language archives. Workshop
participants will interact and explore challenges and solutions to
facilitate: (1) discovery of information resources in digital language
archives, (2) effective and efficient access to them, and (3) reuse of
the valuable content in education and research. The workshop is
intended to advance and sustain interdisciplinary partnerships between
information professionals and researchers, linguists, historians,
anthropologists, educators, language communities (notably Indigenous
and underrepresented), students, and other interested audiences, which
are crucial for the development of digital language archives.
The event is the third one in the series of biennial international
workshops focused on digital language archives and organized as part
of ACM/IEEE Joint Conference on Digital Libraries: LangArc-2021 and
LangArc-2023.
The topics that we would like to call for submissions include but are
not limited to:
 - user studies, including examinations of user needs, usability, and
user experience evaluations in digital language archives;
 - legislative, administrative, economic, and other factors affecting
digital language archives;
 - theory and history of digital language archives;
 - archivists’ partnerships with language communities for providing
access to language materials in their local cultural and historical
collections;
 - ethical issues in digital language archives, including issues
related to providing access to legacy and family materials, materials
for which provenance is unknown or sketchy;
 - approaches, methods and techniques for collection development
(including selection and digitization of materials, self-deposit and
mediated deposit practices), information architecture, information
organization, metadata, information retrieval (including multi-lingual
and cross-lingual), quality assurance in digital language archives;
 - evaluations (case studies and comparative analyses) of various
features of digital language archives; digital language archive
stewardship training and curriculum development initiatives;
vuse of emerging capabilities of generative Artificial Intelligence
(GenAI) tools in the workflows of digital language archives.
