Digital infrastructure to help you find and access nationally significant language collections.

Facilitating collection discovery and access

Significant collections of language data, including collections of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander languages, Australian Englishes and other migrant languages, and regional languages of the Pacific, are at risk of being lost. LDaCA works to secure at-risk collections and improve access to under-used collections. Dive into exploratory portals for data discovery, and find training and guides to support you in finding and accessing language data.
