| Title | New Online Resource for Sirat Bani Hilal |
| Body | The Sirat Bani Hilal Digital Archive is an open access resource for the preservation and dissemination of audio recordings, written texts, photographic images, and other materials related to the Epic of the Bani Hilal tribe. All of these materials are available for use by researchers and teachers without charge (see section on Copyrights & Permissions). We ask only that any use of these texts include an attribution to the Archive (and, in the case of the English translations and photographs, that Dwight F. Reynolds be cited as translator/photographer). The Archive will eventually house 50 hours of English translations, over 150 hours of Arabic transcriptions, and over 250 hours of audio recordings from performances of the Sirat Bani Hilal oral epic poem recorded in Egypt in 1986-87. Of particular note should be the Virtual Performance section of the Archive where viewers can listen to an audio-recording while reading a synchronized line-by-line translation of the performance in both Arabic and English. This is meant to be used as both a teaching and research tool. The site also includes a brief historical introduction, photo galleries, an extensive bibliography on SBH, a listing of online resources, and passages from my original fieldnotes.
