Heritage Language Data Repository

Welcome to Heritage Language Data Repository! Here you can find high-quality heritage language data for your research and contribute your own material. We also encourage you to read the Our mission page where you will find more information about the project, its mission, and its intended purposes, as well as instructions on how to utilize the HELADA Repository.

The Repository has been created in collaboration between the National Heritage Language Resource Center (NHLRC) at the University of California, Los Angeles and scholars from different institutions.

We hope that the Repository is built to stimulate and advance research in the area of Heritage language acquisition, attrition and/or maintenance. Our best effort goes towards protecting our Producers (i.e. the people who participated in research and were either audio- and/or video-recorded and/or submitted written samples that became the data in our data collections) and Providers (i.e. the researchers who have collected, processed and contributed the data to the Repository). We also vouch to help the Repository Users (i.e. those researchers, students and teachers who wish to use the Repository data for either research papers or teaching practice) to understand and adhere to the practices of ethical data sharing and usage.
