Module 07

Archiving the present: language, storytelling, and languages that live

Smita Khator, Ritu Sharma and Sanjib Chaudhary

This module does not see an archive as a one-time act that preserves the past. Instead, it sees it as an ongoing practice that serves your community in the present. By the end, you should be able to name at least one thing beyond a word list worth documenting in your own community, and explain why the context around a recording matters as much as the recording itself.
