Abstract

The primary purpose of the Sirat Bani Hilal Digital Archive (http://www.siratbanihilal.ucsb.edu) is to preserve and make accessible online, to both scholars and the general public, materials related to the Arabic oral epic tradition of Sirat Bani Hilal (the epic of the Bani Hilal Bedouin tribe). The archive was created with the assistance of a yearlong "Digital Innovation" grant from the American Council of Learned Societies (2008-09) and is now a permanent collection in the holdings of the Davidson Research Library at the University of California, Santa Barbara. The core of the archive is a body of audio recordings, photographs, and field notes from research conducted by Dwight F. Reynolds (Professor, Arabic Language and Literature, UCSB) in Egypt in 1982-83, 1986-87, 1988, 1993, and 1995.1
