The goal of the Language Description Heritage (LDH) Open Access Digital Library is to provide easy access to descriptive material about the world’s languages. This collection is being compiled at the Max Planck Society in Germany as an open access digital repository of existing scientific contributions describing the world-wide linguistic diversity, focusing on traditionally difficult to obtain works.
