This NSF-funded workshop initiated a research trajectory that brings the fields of language archives and user-centered design (UCD) into dialogue, with the goal of improving users’ experiences with language archives and making them more accessible and useful to diverse user groups. The workshop documented perspectives of key stakeholder groups and generated initial conceptual frameworks to guide further research. This audio file documents the first half of the second day of the workshop. The discussion topics were: creation of a language archive typology, facilitating the use of language archives, challenges and other factors to consider in the development of UCD guidelines, and organizations to partner with for UCD guidelines.
