Who We Are
Founded in 2000 at The University of Texas at Austin by Dr. Joel Sherzer, Professor Emeritus of Anthropology and Linguistics, in collaboration with Dr. Anthony Woodbury, Professor of Linguistics, and Mark McFarland, the former Director of the Digital Library Services Division; AILLA is a digital repository of multimedia resources in or about Indigenous languages of Latin America.
The collection includes audio and video recordings, frequently accompanied by translations and/or transcriptions in Spanish, English, or Portuguese. Since 2011, AILLA has been a part of the LLILAS Benson Latin American Studies and Collections, where the AILLA lab is located.
The primary mission of AILLA is to preserve the wealth of materials that represent natural discourse in Indigenous languages of L.Am.
What We're Fundraising For
The collection includes audio and video recordings, frequently accompanied by translations and/or transcriptions in Spanish, English, or Portuguese. The recordings comprise narratives, songs, conversations, ceremonies, interviews, and other genres. The collection also includes teaching materials from language reclamation programs, original literary works in Indigenous languages, photographs of people and materials, and scholarly works such as theses, articles, dictionaries, and grammar sketches.
The archive is available on the Internet through an easy-to-use interface, with versions in both Spanish and English. In fact, some of the languages archived at AILLA are no longer spoken, like Tehuelche of Argentina. AILLA’s resources are permanently maintained and preserved by the University of Texas Libraries at The University of Texas at Austin.
Your Impact
The primary mission of AILLA is to preserve the wealth of materials that represent natural discourse in Indigenous languages of Latin America. All of these languages are endangered or threatened in some way. Our second mission is to make these resources available to a global audience through the Internet.
Resources that were once kept in private offices can now be shared with speakers of the languages, scholars, educators, students, and other interested people. We support Indigenous People’s efforts to reclaim their languages and preserve their literature. The archive serves as a medium of collaboration and communication, in addition to providing a repository for resources.
