| description | The research program Voices from Tundra and Taiga has been devoted to the
study of endangered languages and cultures of the Russian Federation, which
must be described rapidly before they become extinct. This research is in the
fortunate position that earlier work on the reconstruction technology for old
sound recordings found in archives in St. Petersburg has made it possible to
compare languages still spoken in the proposed research area to the same
languages as they were spoken more than half a century ago. We have prepared a
catalogue of the existing recordings, and a phono and video library of recorded
stories, and of the folklore, singing and oral traditions of some minority peoples
in the Russian Federation and its bordering areas. For this purpose, the existing
sound recordings in the archives have been used together with the results
obtained from new fieldwork expeditions. At present, many old recordings still
remain hidden in private archives and places where the quality of preservation is
not guaranteed. In a research project on Endangered Archives, we make part of
these recordings available and add them to the database developed in St.
Petersburg. |
