Our dictionary scoping process involves identifying Indigenous languages spoken in North America, and searching for any print, online, PDF, or game (e.g. scrabble) dictionaries developed for a particular language. For each dictionary, we document information on authorship, how and if speakers were cited, when the dictionary was published, and if the dictionary is openly accessible. 

To date, we have scoped over 1,000 dictionaries and have added over 600 of these to our fast-growing Knowledgebase. Posted entries can be filtered by language, language family, publication year (organized by decade), province(s)/state(s) in which the language is spoken, access conditions, and dictionary type (monolingual, bilingual, etc.).

We continue to add posts about individual dictionaries to the Knowledgebase, and hope to have information on all 1,000+ dictionaries available in the coming months. In the future, we plan to add more information on dictionaries that were unavailable at the time of scoping, such as dictionaries that are only available as print dictionaries, but may be accessible through our university library. We also wish to expand the regional search feature beyond provincial and state borders, and perhaps include a map interface.
