How are Entries Organised
Entries on the word list do not appear to have a specific organisation method. They are in the same order of the list speakers interacted with during the 1992 recording session with fieldworkers.
The audio files are organized by the same word list, as well as the date recorded. There are three different recordings of the same list. The first recording is of Hariet Whitworth, Felicite McDonald, and Dorothy Felsman. The second recording is of Dorothy Felsman and her father, Joe Eneas. The third recording is of a group of ten speakers.
The image files (scans of the original typed word list) roughly coincide with the audio files. These image files contain handwritten notes containing metadata and corrections to spelling or pronunciation.
