archived Osage?

[Mcbride, Justin]

David,

If there are transcriptions available, I've never seen them. Still, if
memory serves, her dictionary provides evidence of a rather extensive
coding system after each example pulled from her data. I believe early
drafts of her grammar did, too. While this doesn't necessarily prove that
she transcribed the whole of her recordings, it does suggest that she at
least worked out a coding scheme for doing so. It's completely possible,
then, that there are transcriptions (full or partial) floating around
somewhere. I don't know who might have them if they do exist. Hadn't she
planned to donate much or all of her materials to the Osage Nation for safe
keeping after her death? If so, I don't know if that ever happened, but
there are folks here in town I could ask.

All the best,
-Justin
