The archives of the Institute of Aymara Language and Culture, ILCA, in La Paz, are now online, thanks to the sponsorship of the MEAP project (Modern Endangered Archives Program) at the University of California, Los Angeles, USA, with funding from Arcadia<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The project \u201cCuration and digitization of the archives of the Institute of Aymara Language and Culture, ILCA\u201d has digitized more than 1,500 data sources that can be used for new research. Access to the trilingual UCLA-MEAP website is free, with entries in Spanish and English, and an extensive use of Aymara. Entries are replicated on the ILCA website (see below). The ILCA archives trace the work of this institution, under the direction of its founder, Professor Juan de Dios Yapita, since the 1970s. It includes 800 audio recordings, newspaper clippings, and other publications covering initiatives of the Indigenous and Indianist Movements of those decades, and books on teaching Aymara language. There is also a photographic and video collection of the ILCA team and of life in the rural areas of the Altiplano and valleys of Bolivia, videos of Professor Yapita’s work teaching Aymara language, and his field notebooks together with those of the British anthropologist, Professor Denise Y. Arnold (with whom he worked from 1985 to 2013). The digitized archive, one of the largest on the Aymara language and culture on the Continent, contains sections on the life and work of Juan de Dios Yapita, including his musical compositions, on life and language use in the marka and ayllus of Qaqachaka, and on the life and political work of the well-known yatiri<\/em> and midwife Don Domingo Jim\u00e9nez Aruquipa. Many interviews are conducted with the last generation of monolingual Aymara speakers, in communities in Oruro, northern Potos\u00ed, and the lakeside region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
