Here's the latest from the California Language Archive:
- We have accessioned the Wilma Moman Collection of Northern Sierra Miwok Sound Recordings (Miwokan; California), consisting of 41 audio recordings of short language lessons developed and spoken in 1997 by Mrs. Moman. The recordings were made and donated by her family.
- We have accessioned the Alice Anderton Collection of Indigenous Language Sound Recordings, consisting of nine cassette tape copies in the possession of Dr. Anderton at the time of her death in 2016. The tapes were first deposited with the Native American Languages collection of the Sam Noble Museum (University of Oklahoma) and transferred to the CLA last year.
- We have accessioned the Russell Schuh Collection of African Language Materials. The written materials in this collection consist primarily of notebooks on Bade, Bole, Ciwogai, Diri, Mburku, Ngas, Ngizim, Siri, and Warji, all languages of Nigeria, many including texts written by native-speaker authors. There are also audio recordings and other prepared material.
