Schedule
The ELDP training workshop for 2010 will provide a variety of formal,
informal and practical sessions dealing with topics in language
documentation including fieldwork, collection and management
of data, archiving, audio, video, and ethics. This workshop will take a group-based "workflow" approach, proceeding from issues and practicalities in collecting primary materials (audio, video), to representing and analysing them.
