Pacific and regional archive for digital sources in endangered cultured--paradisec
PARADISEC is a project that is archiving ethnographic material from the region around Australia, including the Pacific and Papua New Guinea. Field recordings from the 1950s onwards are becoming endangered and are being digitised for preservation and distributed access. We have currently digitised just under 700 hours of tapes, or around 1.2 terabytes of data, including the work of Laycock, Capell, Dutton and Voorhoeve among others. In this talk I will outline the methods we use and future directions as well as the integral part that such archives have in supporting language documentation. The software designed to build this media corpus is called Audiamus. I will be demonstrating the use of Audiamus as part of this talk.
