Consortium for Training in Language Documentation and Conservation

Consortium for Training in Language Documentation and Conservation
Made up of both organizational and individual members, the Cosortium for Training in Language Documentation and Conservation (CTLDC) is an international organization that seeks to enhance access to resources for language documentation, train professionals and indigenous activists to document and conserve languages, facilitate the discussion of goals, models, and methods for documentation, develop a global network of like-minded language documenters, provide input to policy-makers on issues concerning the maintenance of linguistic diversity, and to advocate for the visibility of indigenous language issues in the media.

CTLDC's website also provides useful links to information for language activists about multimedia recording devices and their usage, grant writing and survey method how-to's, guides for strategies to reintegrate languages no longer spoken by adults or children, information on gaining access to archives, and more.

CTLDC's mission statement: "The CTLDC fosters networking and collaboration among people and organisations that support training in language documentation and promote the ongoing use of all of the world's languages."
