虽然许多语言档案最初是为了保存语言数据而设计的，但这些数据有可能为狭隘的语言学领域之外的知识提供信息。如今，没有经过正式语言培训的人正在使用语言档案，其目的不一定是语言文档的原始创建者所设想的。 DoBeS 档案馆特别适合成为文化文献的重要资源，因为 DoBeS 的许多项目本质上都是跨学科的，在更广泛的社会和文化背景下记录语言。在本文中，我提出了一个在现代数字语言文档时代之前创建的遗留档案的观点，以 DoBeS 程序为例。我特别描述了两种类型的非语言用途，它们在阿拉斯加母语档案馆中变得越来越重要。
While many language archives were originally conceived for the purpose of preserving linguistic data, these data have the potential to inform knowledge beyond the narrow field of linguistics. Today language archives are being used by people without formal linguistic training for purposes not necessarily envisioned by the original creators of the language documentation. The DoBeS Archive is particularly well-placed to become an important resource for cultural documentation, since many of the DoBeS projects have been interdisciplinary in nature, documenting language within its broader social and cultural context. In this paper I present a perspective from a legacy archive created well before the modern era of digital language documentation exemplified by the DoBeS program. In particular, I describe two types of non-linguistic uses which are becoming increasingly important at the Alaska Native Language Archive.
