The Endangered Languages Archive (ELAR<\/a>) at SOAS reaches an important milestone this week when our 100th deposit goes online. We will be working on a further 10 deposits and doing additional curation work on those currently online over the next two months.<\/p>\n

ELAR now has 4 terabytes (4,000 gigabytes — double that I reported in April<\/a>) of language, music and cultural data and analysis online and available for registered users (and, of course, fully preserved on our storage area network and securely backed up). Some material requires subscription but we have now implemented an online subscription system that enables user requests to be easily made, with the depositor being automatically asked for permission to access the relevant files.<\/p>\n
