Language Documentation Claire Bowern Yale University LSA Summer Institute: 2013 Week 4: Archiving

Why archive? Safety: to ensure durability of materials Access: to ensure that relevant stakeholders have access to the materials

Where to archive? Many options these days! University archive (yours or someone else’s) Local (community) archives Regional language archives ELAR NB: putting materials on the web isn’t archiving.

Archives Online Archives: AILLA (for Latin America): AIATSIS (for Australia): mura.aiatsis.gov.au British Library (explorer and missionary documents: Commonwealth countries) National (US) Archives: Smithsonian Institution: Library of Congress: American Philosophical Society: University Archives: U Penn, Harvard, Cornell, Yale, Chicago (and others) all have large manuscript holdings UC Berkeley: Bancroft Library; Survey of Californian Indian languages Tribal Archives Local Historical Societies Local Churches

Archives Some archives require a visit in person, others can help you through /phone. Always ask! The archivists are there to help. Try to be specific with questions. Many archives need appointments in advance. Some have material repatriation programs.

Within the community Individuals might have language materials: diaries stories tapes wordlists copies of notes from researchers

Have linguists or anthropologists worked on the language? Try to find out if community outsiders have worked on the language E.g. (US) J P Harrington, Edward Sapir, C Hart Merriam, F.G. Speck, etc. Ask around if people remember linguists working on the language. Contact your local university. Post a question on the ILAT list. detail.cfm?List=2135

On the web google.com Google Scholar: scholar.google.com Web archives (see above) What to search for? Language name e.g. Onondaga language, Cherokee language (or Tsalagi language) Words in the language e.g. miinimbi (Bardi for ‘whale’) Names of people who’ve worked on the language e.g. Oneida Karin Michelson

Legal issues Archiving is a contract between the linguist and the institution. Who has the right to archive the materials (not straightforward to archive another’s materials)? Who can specify the access protocols? What happens if there’s disagreement about the decisions? Responsibilities of archive [conservation, etc] Responsibilities of linguist (see t_012PR.pdf) t_012PR.pdf *I’m not a lawyer…

Data restrictions Many archives allow holdings to be restricted. Who gets to view? Who gets to say if it’s ok for someone to view? Why? sensitive information to allow the linguist time to publish community wishes

What you’ll need Metadata! List of materials Materials themselves, in archival format Materials should be organized. Any restrictions should be clearly labeled.

What to archive? Recordings Metadata Transcripts Metadata Stimuli? (or references to them) Analysis notes Publications Maps Photos?

Archival formats Digital data are hard to archive! Many formats Most media is not designed for long-term storage Buzzard-Welcher (2007), Simons (2004): An archival format has “LOTS” of good qualities: Lossless Open Standard Transparent Supported by multiple vendors

Examples note especially:
