title = "Sound Recordings in the Archival Setting: Issues of Collecting, Documenting, Categorizing, and Copyright",
abstract = "Sound files offer the advantage of access to a large volume of data and speech features that cannot be captured on paper. Sound recordings can preserve a diasporic dialect on the verge of extinction. Cataloging sound files and making them accessible to both the lay community and professionals present new challenges. Collection-level, rather than item-level cataloging helps to deal with commercial music recordings. Double coding, using both the International Ethnographic Thesaurus and specifically Slavic metadata, can make field recordings accessible to both the Slavic community and specialists. Archives of important artists created by amateurs need scholars to generate finding aids.",

note = "Funding Information: The work of the Project is supported by the Czech Endowment of the Department of Slavic and Eurasian Studies at UT, which also covered start-up costs. Additional funding has come from two Humanities Texas media grants and a generous donation from the Texas Czech Heritage Society of South Texas. As Cope reported, the team currently consists of the TCLP director (Lida Cope), programmer (Ryan Miller), and two transcribers on contract (Al{\v z}b{\v e}ta V{\'i}tkov{\'a} and Lucie Salzmannov{\'a}). Finding proficient Czech speakers both capable of, and interested in, transcribing Texas Czech was a challenge at first. Since 2016, UT has allowed Cope to employ two to three students from Charles University in Prague through international contracts. The TCLP site is built on Drupal 7, an open source CMS platform that affords flexibility in constructing the envisioned infrastructure. While Drupal provides all the desired features, the design of a searchable corpus requires programming expertise. With the infrastructure in place, however, a lay editor can upload and edit the content including the voice files and transcriptions.
