- 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."

- Dates: July 1985
- Extent: 30 cassettes
- 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.

- Language: Karuk (kyh)
- Historical information: In the mid-2000s, Andrew Garrett (UC Berkeley) and Susan Gehr (Karuk tribal linguist, archivist, and language program coordinator) worked together to create an online searchable version of William Bright and Gehr's "Karuk dictionary" (2005), in a website hosted by the UC Berkeley Linguistics Department. In 2008 and 2009, Gehr and Karuk language program coordinator Ruth Rouvier invited Garrett to work with Karuk community members on data management and archiving for language documentation. From this emerged a Karuk language documentation project involving collaboration among Berkeley linguists, the Karuk Tribe, and Karuk tribal members. The project was led at Berkeley by Line Mikkelsen and Andrew Garrett (and initially Alice Gaby, who subsequently left Berkeley); other participants included Karuk first-language speakers Lucille Albers, Sonny Davis, Vina Smith, and Charlie Thom Sr.; second-language speakers, learners, and teachers Tamara Alexander, LuLu Alexander, Crystal Richardson, and Florrine Super; and UC Berkeley graduate students Erik Hans Maier and Clare Sandy. Active documentation began in 2010 and continued through at least 2017. (Elders Thom, Albers, and Smith passed away in 2013, 2014, and 2015, respectively.) Among other research activities, this project involved extensive work with texts, including the creation of digital versions of legacy texts (e.g. all texts published in William Bright's 1957 "The Karok language"), transcribing new texts, and analyzing texts. The text analysis also involved preparation of a treebank of syntactically parsed Karuk sentences.
- Scope and content: The collection consists mainly of field recordings made by Berkeley faculty and students with Karuk elders as well as younger language learners and second-language speakers. Most of the items in the collection are organized as follows: recordings made on a single research trip (on one or more days) are bundled together as digital assets of a single item. One item in the collection contains grant applications (e.g. for a National Science Foundation grant); another item contains handouts and posters from conference presentations by Berkeley project participants. The field recordings include a wide range of texts, text types, and methodologies (elicitation, free texts, responses to stimuli, discussion of legacy recordings); they cover a variety of linguistic topics (phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, and semantics).

- Primary contributors: Margarita Cuevas Cortés (consultant), Crescenciano Ruiz Ramírez (consultant), Monica Macaulay (researcher)
- Additional contributors: Carmez (consultant), Lourdes Cortés (consultant), Catalina García (consultant), Otelia Jiménez García (consultant), Flor Mixteca (consultant), Sabina Nicolás Cortes (consultant), Arcadio Nicolás Nicolás (consultant), Lázaro Pérez (consultant), Bernardino Sánchez Cuevas (consultant), Joseph Salmons (transcriber)
- Languages: Chalcatongo de Hidalgo Mixtec, San Miguel el Grande Mixtec (mig), San Pablo Tijaltepec Mixtec
- Dates: July & August 1982, June 1992
- Extent: 8 5-inch reel-to-reel tapes, 43 cassettes
- Historical information: Monica Macaulay received a BA (1979) and PhD (1987) from UC Berkeley, with a dissertation titled "Morphology and Cliticization in Chalcatongo Mixtec" (available here: https://escholarship.org/uc/item/5qb9x714). She was subsequently an Assistant and then Associate Professor in the Department of English at Purdue University from 1987 to 1996 before joining the linguistics faculty as an Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where she has held the rank of Professor of Linguistics since 2001.
  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. The reel-to-reel tapes from 1982 were mastered by the Berkeley Language Center in 1988. As part of this process, it was common for the tapes 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 initial 23 file bundles found here. The cassettes from 1992 were digitized in 2018 in a different way, with one digital file per side of a cassette, which were then organized chronologically (see file bundles 024 through 052 here). In all of the file bundles in this collection, relations are given between a digital file and ranges of page numbers for corresponding field notes in collection "Macaulay." For bundles 001-023, the "Catalog history" field indicates correspondences between segment numbers on master reels and digital files; for bundles 024-052, the same field indicates correspondences between original cassettes and digital files.

See "Associated materials."
- Scope and content: Field notes from elicitation sessions, including transcriptions of texts. In August 2020, Macaulay donated 13 notebooks related to her study of Mixtec during the period 1981-1992, in Berkeley and Oaxaca, Mexico. The first two notebooks are in the associated field methods collection (2020-16); the remainder are here (file bundles 010-020). The bulk of the lower-numbered file bundles (003-007, "Mixtec elicitations") are versions of the notes in existence by June 1987 that were reproduced on a typewriter, with handwritten corrections. File bundles 001-009 represent an earlier deposit made by Hinton on behalf of Macaulay.
  File bundle Macaulay.002 (typed field notes) was deaccessioned and moved to the field methods collection (2020-16). File bundles containing original notebooks corresponding to fieldwork in Oaxaca in summers 1982 and 1992 (010-020) have relations indicating which sound recordings in collection LA249 they correspond to; file bundles containing the typed notes have relations indicating which original notebook(s) they correspond to. All original notebooks and typed notes have been scanned and are available as digital files here. The PDF files containing the typed notes have been OCR'd and are searchable.
