OLAC Mission
OLAC, the Open Language Archives Community, is an international
partnership of institutions and individuals who are creating a worldwide
virtual library of language resources by:
(i)
developing consensus on best current practice for the digital
archiving of language resources, and
(ii)
developing a network of interoperating repositories and services
for housing and accessing such resources.
