OLAC

OLAC, the Open Language Archives Community, is an initiative to create a unified means of searching online databases of language resources for linguistic research. The information about resources is stored in XML format for easy searching. OLAC was founded in 2000, and is hosted at the Linguistic Data Consortium webserver at the University of Pennsylvania.

Not to be confused with OLAC, the association of Online Audiovisual Catalogers.

OLAC advises on best practices in language archiving, and works to promote interoperation between language archives.
