| Description | This is a repository of materials related to the Eskaya community of Bohol with particular reference to the Eskayan language. Most of the materials were recorded, filmed, scanned or photographed by Piers Kelly between 2005 and 2011. Exceptions are the oral history recordings of Zoë Bedford made in 2003-2004. Important postgraduate work from Cristina Martinez-Juan from the 1990s was added later. It is at PK2-50. The Eskayan language was assigned the ISO639-3 code [esy] in 2014 however this change has not yet been reflected in the PARADISEC Ethnologue list. For the time being, the collection is labelled 'Cebuano'.

The Eskaya Digital Archive contains the following types of digitised materials related to Eskaya history, culture and language: • Manuscripts (handwritten Eskaya documents) • Publications (peer-reviewed commentaries) • Dissertations (postgraduate research) • Media (newspaper and magazine articles) • Grey literature (various unpublished letters and commentaries) • Genealogies (gedcom text files and photographs of surviving parish records) • Pictures (people and scenes from Eskaya villages, not including photographs of manuscripts) • Audio and video recordings (Eskaya people speaking, singing or writing Eskayan) For an introduction to Eskaya history, culture and language see my dissertation at PK2-07-DISS09. This document also summarises and evaluates earlier commentaries on the Eskayan language (as compiled in PK2-09-MED) and explains the context in which the materials in The Eskaya Digital Archive were collected. Those who are visiting this archive for the first time might have trouble isolating the richest and rarest materials. The following 'jewels in the crown' are recommended for new visitors: • PK2-03-MANBIAB06: a rare phrasebook • PK2-03-MANBIAB08: Interesting auto-ethnography with elements that may be considered unorthodox today • PK2-03-MANBIAB12: the Castañares Manuscript (housed in Bohol Provincial Museum, probably created in Biabas then brought to Taytay) • PK2-04-MANCAD05: The famous notebook of Eleuteria Faustina Viscayda which represents her attempt to standardise Eskaya literature.
