This deposit contains audiovisual material collected during Andrew Harvey’s work with the Gorwaa language. Beginning in 2012 and extending to present, this deposit will be regularly expanded with new recordings, transcriptions/translations, and other content. The focus of research has been to help create a description of the Gorwaa language. Materials therefore include lexical and grammatical elicitation. A second priority has been the collection of historical and cultural material deemed important to the Gorwaa people. As such, traditional songs, stories, and common history also form a significant part of the deposit. How to use this deposit: For a brief talk providing an overview of the contents of this collection, giving examples of how the collection can be searched and interpreted, and suggesting some ‘threads’ running through the collection that might be fruitful for future exploration, please consult: Harvey, Andrew. 2019.
