Voices of Pre-Industrial Siberia

The project aims to digitize, contextualize and share a collection of tape recordings of indigenous people of the North. This large and unique collection of indigenous voices from the 1920s to the 1980s has never been professionally digitized, and is stored in poor conditions. This project will digitize the Siberian Arctic collection, document it by cross-referencing archival records, and digitally share the results both through new media technologies and visits to indigenous source communities.
