Endangered Languages Archive
The Endangered Languages Archive (ELAR) is a digital repository for preserving multimedia collections of endangered languages from all over the world, making them available for future generations.
ELAR’s mission is to:
provide a safe long-term repository for language documentation collections
train and support depositors in collection creation and preservation
make collections accessible free of charge to researchers, communities, and the public
support users in discovering and accessing recordings
ELAR was a founding member of the CLARIN-UK consortium in 2015, when it was based at SOAS, University of London. ELAR is now based in Berlin.
