AILLA Launches Free Online Course on Archiving

The Archive of the Indigenous Languages of Latin America (AILLA) is delighted to announce the launch of a free online course called Archiving for the Future: Simple Steps for Archiving Language Documentation Collections, available at archivingforthefuture.teachable.com. The course is a resource to aid people of all backgrounds in organizing born-digital and digitized language materials and data for deposit into any digital repository (not just AILLA) for long-term preservation and accessibility.

AILLA closed Monday, Sept. 7, 2020

AILLA and the rest of UT-Austin will be closed on Monday, September 7, 2020 in observance of the Labor Day holiday.

Announcing New Mixtec Language Materials in Two Collections

AILLA is pleased to announce that some products of a recent NEH-funded pilot project are now publicly available. After adding over 350 PDF files to the MesoAmerican Languages Collection of Kathryn Josserand, most Mixtec-language audio recordings in that collection now have a scanned image of the handwritten transcriptions produced by Josserand and her collaborators.
