This site is dedicated to making Barker's Klamath Dictionary more accessible. The goal is to create a version which is electronically searchable, and which can more easily be converted to other formats. In Barker's original dictionary entries are ordered by their morphophonemic form, which makes it quite challenging to use.

The full OCR and proofreading will take some time. So here I am providing things as available.

Image files

These image files were created from page scans. The copy used to make these scans was unfortunately not very high quality. Also in order to keep the files at a reasonable size, the original scans were reduced to black/white resulting in some loss of quality.

Raw OCR files

These files are just the raw output from the OCR software more or less as is. This works well enough for the English, but the Klamath is unusable, and awaits further proofreading.

Pre-formatted files

These files are still raw OCR but have line breaks corrected and have some formatting applied so they are more readable.

They also have some corrections made, especially in the English glosses.

Proofread files

Here are the finished files (as far as available), as rtf…

…and as pdf.
