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.
