Tone Isogloss Maps

A set of tone isogloss maps for the languages of the Alaska-Canada border region have been added to the archive as item CA976R2012.

We're moving!

ANLA is moving to the Rasmuson Library. Over the next year the Archive will be transitioning from its current home in the Brooks Building to new space in the Rasmuson Library. We have already begun transferring archival documents and recordings to secure storage on the first floor of Rasmuson, and we have opened a new office on the second floor, adjacent to the Oral History Program and the Alaska and Polar Regions Archive. Over the next few months we'll be creating a public space next to the Alaska Collection on the second floor. This space will provide easy access to Alaska Native Language reference materials.

During the transition period our offline materials will be distributed between Rasmuson and Brooks, so be sure to check with ANLA staff if you have any questions or need assistance locating materials. Thanks for your patience during our move. Stay tuned for more information about our Grand Opening Celebration, scheduled for February 22, 2013.
