*The DELAMAN Franz Boas Award *


DELAMAN, the Digital Endangered Languages and Musics Archives Network (
http://www.delaman.org/), has now established the award in honour of Franz
Boas in recognition of significant contributions to the documentation of
endangered languages.

collection of an endangered or moribund language. The DELAMAN Franz Boas
Award recognizes and honours junior scholars (Ph.D. awarded January 1, 2011
or later; early career documenters employed less than 5 years) who have
done outstanding documentary work in creating a rich multimedia documentary
collection of a particular language that is endangered or no longer spoken.
The language documentation collection must be archived and made accessible
in a DELAMAN archive (with no or only minimal access restrictions).


To submit a nomination and for information about the award go to:

Language Documentation and Conservation (ICLDC)

to a maximum of US$1500 to bring the winner to Honolulu for the 2017
