E-MELD: A Project We Are Proud Of!
Subject: A Project Designed to Aid in the Preservationof Endangered Languages Data and Documentation
Dear Subscribers,
The E-MELD project (http://emeld.org/index.cfm), begunin 2001, was an NSF-funded five-year project designedto aid in the preservation of endangered languages dataand documentation. The project is also intended to supportthe development of the necessary infrastructure foreffective collaboration among electronic archives. TheE-MELD Maintenance Team (EMT), founded in 2007, is acontinuation of the E-MELD project, dedicated to keepingthe site up-to-date with the most current resources forfield linguists.
The pages on the E-MELD site provide useful informationand tips on how to document and store language data. Weare particularly proud of The School of Best Practices.Here, users can visit the "classroom"(http://emeld.org/school/classroom/index.html) and findlessons and tutorials on how to create archival andpresentation formats for various media types; betterunderstand the concepts behind, and the recommendationsof best practices for various documentation types; encode,store and render best practice data using assortedtechnologies; and make data available to more researchersin enduring formats using techniques for preservation.There is even Ask-an-Expert, where users can ask ourE-MELD panel members about creating and preservingdigital language documentation.
Our goal is to make E-MELD a useful resource for a widerange of users, from students who are in the early stagesof their research career to professional field linguists.To keep the E-MELD site live and up-to-date, we need amaintenance team.
For this, we need your donations!

Your donation willhelp us keep the LINGUIST List site running, bringing thelatest information to the linguistic community.
We appreciate your generosity.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as
such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return
(U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site, or contact
your financial advisor.
Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple
administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without
costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company
operates such a program.
Thank you very much for your support of LINGUIST!
