Karuk (kyh) Archives and Accessibility Project

卡鲁克语是卡鲁克部落的一种语言，卡鲁克部落是一个联邦政府承认的部落，位于加州西北部的克拉马斯河中游。 Karuk以其复杂的重音系统而闻名，例如英语中的规则（摄影与摄影），其独特的单词和句子构成模式。 洪堡大学的PI Susan Gehr与Karuk语言项目协调员和20名社区参与者一起，将创建一个Karuk材料的档案库，使其可以永久搜索和访问。 要存档的材料包括卡鲁克部落语言方案的数据和社区成员捐赠的材料。 这些独特的数据将丰富目前对这种高度濒危语言的了解。虽然目前已知只有五位老年人能流利地说卡鲁克语，但有一个活跃的卡鲁克人社区记录了卡鲁克语流利的使用者，并出版了卡鲁克语的文本，音频和视频。Gehr将举办四个研讨会，向社区成员分享最先进的归档和保存方法，以支持社区的可持续归档实践。 该项目不仅将在Karuk社区创建基础设施，还提供了一个如何与社区合作的例子。该项目还将利用档案专业的最佳做法，为卡鲁克部落语言方案创建和收集的卡鲁克语言材料制作一份免费提供的收集指南。

Karuk is a language of the Karuk Tribe, a federally-recognized tribe situated on the middle course of the Klamath River in northwestern California. Karuk is well known for its complex accentual system such as the rules in English (PHOTOgraph versus photoGRAPHic), its unique patterns of word and sentence formation. Thus more data on this language will help with understanding more about its grammar.PI Susan Gehr of Humboldt University, along with a Karuk Language Program Coordinator and 20 community participants, will create an archival repository of Karuk materials, making them searchable and accessible in perpetuity. The materials to be archived include data from the Karuk Tribe's Language Program and materials donated by community members. These unique data will then enrich current knowledge of this highly endangered language.While there are just five elderly known fluent speakers of the Karuk language, there is an active community of Karuk people documenting the fluent speakers of Karuk and publishing Karuk texts, audio and video. Gehr will hold four workshops where she will share state-of-the-art techniques in archiving and preservation methodologies to community members with the view to supporting sustainable archiving practices in the community. The project will not only create infrastructure in the Karuk community, it also provided an example of how to do this with community. This project will also use best practices from the archival profession to produce a freely available collection guide for the Karuk language materials created and collected by the Karuk Tribe's Language Program.
