BIG005 - Biga - Possessive and verbal subject-marking paradigms
No full textThis dataset contains elicited possessive and verbal subject-marking paradigms from Biga with Semuel Mandurun (born 1970), a native speaker of Biga. The possessed nouns in the possessive paradigms are 'canoe', 'leg/foot', and 'grandchild'; the subject-marking paradigms are elicited for the verbs 'to ascend', 'to wash', and 'to hear'. The session was recorded on 29 December 2019, in Biga village (Misool island, Raja Ampat regency, Southwest Papua province, Indonesia). The recording of this session is split across two audio files, BIG005-01 and BIG005-02. This dataset relates to the British Academy Postdoctoral Fellowship 'Synchronic and diachronic investigations in Raja Ampat-South Halmahera, a little-known subbranch of Austronesian' (PF19\100004); additional fieldwork funds were provided by a Moray Endowment Fund from the University of Edinburgh. Further deposits are available in the related DataShare sub-community (https://datashare.ed.ac.uk/handle/10283/8573)
Tower Blocks UK: Wandsworth London William Willison Estate, Phases II, IV, l49-12.jpg

The Tower Block UK image archive is a searchable database of around 4,000 images of every multi-storey social housing development built in the UK. The photographs were largely taken in the 1980s by Miles Glendinning and are made available here for public use. As many of the blocks documented and photographed have since been demolished, the archive functions in part as a repository of information on an important aspect of UK heritage that is now vanishing. The archive itself catalogues multi-storey blocks as part of the developments within which they were initially commissioned and built. It gives details of notable dates, such as when local authorities approved the developments and when construction began or finished. Alongside this, the archive provides information on the local authorities, architects, and other agents involved in the processes of commissioning, designing, and constructing mass social housing. While the most historically 'accurate' identification labels in the database are the original overall development or project names, the archive also contains details of the individual blocks built
