| Title | REALIA Project Seeks Contributors |
| Body | The REALIA Project (http://www.realiaproject.org) is actively seeking contributions of image collections by faculty and faculty/student collaborations to support the teaching of language and culture based in the following languages: Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish. The National Endowment for the Humanities has provided a three-year grant to the National Institute for Technology and Liberal Education (NITLE) to enable The REALIA Project to transform its prototype REALIA collection into a sustainable online archive of royalty-free materials for teaching foreign languages and cultures. The collection focuses on digitized realia (objects that convey the essence of a culture) and serves a wide population of foreign language instructors and learners. This searchable collection, launched in 2001, contains images with accurate English and vernacular descriptions, cultural commentary, and suggested pedagogical applications from faculty contributors. Images and descriptions are reviewed by peer seven editorial boards with members from more than 16 liberal arts colleges and universities. Metadata for each image are enhanced by library catalogers. If you are interested in contributing to this project or are in contact with faculty who may have collections to contribute, please contact Alan Boyd, Managing Board Coordinator, (alan.boyd@oberlin.edu) or visit our website: http://www.realiaproject.org for more information making a submission.
