Archive (ELAR)
HRELP's Endangered Languages Archive (ELAR) is part of an international
network of digital endangered language archives.
ELAR provides a digital archive for the documentations and descriptions
of endangered languages as a result of work by ELDP grantees and others. ELAR started accepting deposits in October 2005. If you are interested in depositing with us, see the Depositors' page.
We aim to:
- provide a safe long-term repository of language materials
- enable people to see what documentation has been created for a language
- encourage international co-operation between researchers
- encourage endangered language communities to participate and
to build on the work done, in order to safeguard their
languages
- provide advice and collaboration
ELAR is a foundation member of the Digital Endangered
Languages and Musics Archives Network (DELAMAN). Through this connection,
we collaborate closely with the DoBeS archive at
the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics www.mpi.nl/DOBES),
the Archive for the Indigenous Languages of Latin America
at the University of Texas(http://www.ailla.utexas.org/site/welcome.html) and the Pacific And Regional Archive
for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures in Australia
(http://paradisec.org.au/).
