World Oral Literature Project
Global initiative
The World Oral Literature Project was "an urgent global initiative to document and disseminate endangered oral literatures before they disappear without record".[1] Directed by Dr Mark Turin and co-located at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, at the University of Cambridge and Yale University, the project was established in January 2009.[2]
From March 2013 the organization ceased funding projects, whilst maintaining online resources.[3]
