Kaipuleohone is the University of Hawaiʻi’s Digital Language Archive for audio and video recordings as well as photographs, notes, dictionaries, transcriptions, ethnographic materials, and other materials related to small and endangered languages.
LAEbrary Digital Resources
Our Lab GAs conduct workshops on how to use various LAE Labs resources (e.g., equipment, analysis software, language corpora) and maintain written user guides for specific software or hardware. The repository of workshops and user guides is further described on the Digital Resources page.
