ANA Native Language Preservation: A Reference Guide for Establishing Archives and Repositories

The Native Language Preservation: A Reference Guide for Establishing Archives and Repositories explains why language repositories are vital to long-term language preservation efforts.  It offers practical advice on what to preserve and how to think about cataloging.  It includes helpful interviews with curators of large collections and descriptions of construction techniques that will assist in the preservation of irreplaceable treasures.  It includes policies for repositories and instructions on how to find materials that have already been saved in government and other collections.  It also contains information on how to develop a disaster plan, including contact information for people who may be able to assist you.
