Whitehorn Collection
Overview
These are audio recordings contributed by John Whitehorn to the World Oral Literature project: https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/collections/1240188b-2f4c-401e-9372-58177440d9c6. The recordings were mostly collected in the 1960s. Dates are available in the PDFs (found in the repository) but have not yet been incorporated into the XMLs.
The recordings are not transcribed, and many are songs.
They are mostly Paiwan but also some Atayal, Seediq, and Amis.

Corpus Notes
Recording quality is about what you would expect, given the age.
Whitehorn sometimes specifies dialects, but not using the modern dialect distinctions. This will need to be standardized if possible.
