[RNLD] dictionary files

[Nick Thieberger]

Dear Colleagues,

PARADISEC is seeking to archive your digital files representing
dictionaries created
over the past generations. The availability of dictionaries in primary text
files is particularly important, as it allows future re-use of the material
without requiring laborious text recognition or retyping of the work.

Such files can be held on restricted access, but keeping them in an archive
will ensure that the files are findable in the future.

Draft versions can also be held as safe copies with later versions added
incrementally.

PARADISEC currently holds a number of dictionaries, some examples of which
are listed below. Some are image files that permit out of print dictionaries to
be available more widely, and some are textual files.
OE1-AmarasiDictionary (text)
WS1-Namakir (text)

There is no charge for this service.

Thanks,

Nick Thieberger
