Focus for the event:


Building a Digital Network for Language and Culture

in South and Southeast Asia


Please join us for a one-day symposium on Friday, October 4, 2024, to introduce Computational Resource for South Asian Languages (CoRSAL), a digital resource developed at University of North Texas (UNT) Libraries and School of Library and Information Science, and now made more widely available through a partnership between UNT and Indiana University, Bloomington, Department of Linguistics. The symposium brings together linguists, archivists, curators, librarians, digital technologists, and creators and users of traditional media to envision a broader, networked future for the heritage and languages of Asia, South Asia, and adjacent areas.


Invited speakers include developers of research-oriented repositories of South Asian languages and historical documents, and creators and users of local, less-networked, traditional repositories in the South Asian region. The symposium sessions are organized to open discussion around the following topics –


  *   The scope and content of digital resources on South Asia in university and other repositories;
  *   The use of language materials, and the extent of outreach, in the U.S. and abroad;
  *   The nature of community-based efforts in the creation of language and other archival resources, and connecting heritage speakers with digital resources;
  *   The building of a community of users for language and other archival resources;
  *   The state of technology (current infrastructure and practices for digital archiving, and improving discoverability of and access to existing resources);
  *   The standards and practices of data sovereignty, intellectual property rights, and ethical data stewardship;
  *   The identification of models for training in documentation of community collections.


The convening will improve access to under-resourced and vulnerable archival materials on South Asia, expand humanities and social science research opportunities, and create global ties among heritage communities in South Asia.


A companion meeting will be held at the India Gateway, New Delhi, in Spring 2025.

See you there!
