Historical information:This collection consists of materials produced by students of two consecutive graduate-level field methods course in the Department of Linguistics at UC Berkeley between January 1981 and June 1982 (winter and spring quarters 1981, and fall and winter quarters 1981-1982). The course was taught by Prof. Leanne Hinton, and the language consultant was Nicolás Cortés. All other listed contributors were students in one or both of the courses. Some papers done later by students originally in these two courses are also included. Joseph Murphy's paper, included here, was not a student in the 1981-1982 courses.
Scope and content:The collection is divided into the following series: 001, notes from class meetings; 002, student papers; 003, derivative notes and miscellaneous papers.

Associated materials:Most of the items in this collection replace Hinton.005.001. The interest in this variety of Mixtec led Macaulay to do fieldwork in Oaxaca in summers 1982 and 1992, and for her and Hinton to do fieldwork together there in summer 1985, both in and around the town of Chalcatongo de Hidalgo. Sound recordings from Macaulay's individual fieldwork are in collection LA249; those from her and Hinton's joint fieldwork are in LA177 (linked under "Relations to this collection" above). Macaulay's papers, including her field notes that pick up where those in this collection leave off, are in collection "Macaulay."

Historical information:In winter-spring 1981 and fall-winter 1981-1982, Leanne Hinton taught a graduate field methods course in the Department of Linguistics at UC Berkeley, which led to various different kinds of work on Mixtec in the following years, including Macaulay's independent fieldwork in Oaxaca in summers 1982 and 1992, and their joint fieldwork there in summer 1985, both in and around the town of Chalcatongo de Hidalgo. See "Associated materials."
Scope and content:Sound recordings of texts and elicitation done by both Hinton and Macaulay. Both are often heard together on recordings. The original cassettes were mastered by the Berkeley Language Center in 1986 and 1987. As part of this process, it was common for the cassettes to be divided up into segments, which were occasionally reordered, and then stored on master reels. It is these segments that were digitized (with support by NEH Preservation/Access Grant), each resulting in their own digital file. This yielded the more than 100 file bundles found here, some of which contain more than one digital file. The "Catalog history" field indicates which master reel and cassette the digitized segments come from.
