Help Us Collect and Protect the Voices of Vanishing Worlds

Thank you for visiting our website to find out more about the World Oral Literature Project, our efforts to document and make accessible endangered oral literature and how you can help. This important work cannot continue without the financial support of individuals and institutions who believe that valuing and documenting linguistic and cultural diversity is a goal in itself.

We are urgently seeking additional funding to increase the number of endangered oral traditions that we can document and protect, and time is running out. Donations will be directed to core activities: providing grants to fieldworkers, archiving and publishing recordings of oral literature, and offering training workshops.

We are open to discussing partnerships or collaborations with like-minded corporations, institutions, and foundations. Please contact us and become part of this exciting endeavour.
