[Tibeto-burman-linguistics] Maru fieldwork of John Okell online at SOAS

[randy.lapolla at gmail.com]

Thanks Chris, I also heard from Doug Cooper about the sealang archive he created for the materials. That is good news. 

Should mention that "The Luce manuscripts cover a wide variety of materials. They are stored at the National Library of Australia in 32 boxes and 22 folios. A broad listing is available. Ten boxes contain general correspondence. There are over two thousand books in the Luce Collection. While the main focus is on Burma, the collection contains materials on the history, languages and cultures of Southeast Asia. All titles have been catalogued onto the NLA's National Bibliographic Database." From Wikipedia 

All the best,
Randy

I paid for all the TB stuff to be scanned, and Paul paid for the rest. I have a hard drive with 161 GB of the scans (I only have the TB materials―see the attached list; Paul may have already made the rest available somewhere). I never did anything with the language data (e.g. Qiang) because there wasn’t enough metadata to know what variety he was talking about or even what his symbols meant. I just kind of forgot about it until now. I am very happy to make it available to anyone who wants it, but currently I have no way to make it available, but I’ll see if I can use my wife’s DropBox account to make it available on line (she has 1T of space!) if people think it might be useful.
