Native Language Preservation guide

The Administration for Native Americans has produced an excellent guidebook for establishing local language archives. It's called Native Language Preservation: A Reference Guide for Establishing Archives and Repositories. It provides comprehensive information on how to start a language archive, including information about costs. It also has two chapters devoted to locating resources in existing repositories. The book can be downloaded in pdf format from the ANA website.
