| Description | This collection contains materials collected by Terrence Kaufman during his research on Mayan languages. These materials were gathered from 1959 to 2004, with most materials dating from 1960 to 1993. These materials include texts and data gathered by Kaufman himself (especially for Huasteco, Tzeltal, Mochó and Tzotzil), secondary works incorporating published and unpublished data gathered by others (e.g. papers working out the classification of the family), and primary data collected by others and given to Kaufman. Most Mayan languages are represented in this collection, however, many are only represented by a relatively small number of forms (taken from published or unpublished sources) in comparative works, or are materials that were not collected by Kaufman himself, but were found among his papers. Below is a list of the numbers of folders in this collection in or about the named languages. Many folders contain comparative works and are labeled with more than one language, hence the totals here exceed the number of folders in the collection.This collection contains 593 folders of 410 audio recordings and 950 documents
