The Milman Parry Collection of Oral Literature proudly marks the 100th anniversary of the birth of its first curator, Albert Bates Lord (September 15, 1912 - July 29, 1991). Through years of painstaking curatorial work and his own efforts as a collector in the field, Lord built on Milman Parry's recordings to create a world-renowned archive of South Slavic and Albanian oral traditions. In books such as his landmark volume The Singer of Tales, he introduced the world to the richness of these and other traditions. 100 years after his birth, Lord's influence continues to be felt.

At Harvard, Lord was particularly well known for his popular General Education course, "Oral and Early Literature" (also known as "Hum 9"). As part of the commemoration of the centennial of Lord's birth, the Parry Collection is making available a recording of one of Lord's Hum 9 lectures, originally delivered on October 26, 1976. In this lecture, Lord discusses the technique of oral composition-in-performance, the value of the South Slavic tradition as a comparandum for the Homeric epics, and the Hesiodic Theogony.

We mourn the loss of John Miles Foley, a leading voice in the study of oral traditions. Founder of the journal Oral Tradition and of the Center for Studies in Oral Tradition, and author of numerous books and articles, Professor Foley contributed enormously to the investigation and understanding of orality. As a featured speaker at Harvard’s 2010 conference on the legacies of Milman Parry and Albert Lord, Professor Foley drew on his deep knowledge of South Slavic epic traditions. The published proceedings of that conference will be dedicated to his memory.

On December 3-5, 2010, the Milman Parry Collection hosted a symposium to mark the 50th anniversary of the publication of Albert Lord's seminal Singer of Tales, and the 75th anniversary of the death of his mentor, Milman Parry. 29 speakers from around the world honored the legacies of these two pathfinding scholars by presenting original research, and live performances spotlighted the continuing vitality of oral traditions in the 21st century.

The Milman Parry Collection has seen many recent advances in connection with its current digitalization project, 多加速器驱动AGX的目标检测与车道分割_吴建明wujianming ...:今天 · 多加速器驱动AGX的目标检测与车道分割Object Detection and Lane Segmentation Using MultipleAccelerators with DRIVE AGX自动驾驶汽车需要快速、准确地感知周围环境，众便同时实时完成一系列广泛的任务。系统需要在各种环境、条件和情况下处理 .... Originally developed by Dr. Matthew Kay, the project moved into production with the award of a generous challenge grant from Harvard's Library Digital Initiative (LDI) in July 2002. The Singer Continues the Song has two distinct goals: first, to make available to the general public a wide selection of the original manuscripts and audio recordings contained in the Parry archive; second, to develop a new set of tools which will improve access to archived materials.

The digitalization project includes material from two major collections contained within the general framework of the Milman Parry Collection of Oral Literature (MPCOL): the Milman Parry Collection proper, consisting of materials collected by Parry in the years 1933-35, and the Albert B. Lord Collection, assembled by Lord in 1950-51. Although over 200 texts have been selected for digitization from the former collection alone, this is still only a small portion of its roughly 12,500 individual items.

Texts were selected for digitalization on the basis of Albert Lord’s 1960 classic The Singer of Tales (2nd ed. 2000), which remains the most widely known presentation of the MPCOL and its contents. Every song cited by Lord or referenced in notes will be made available in digital format. The majority of songs from Albert Lord’s own collection will also be digitized; other songs will be included as funding permits.

The digitalization project's second major goal, the creation of new access tools, coincided well with LDI's stated purpose of improving the digital infrastructure of the Harvard library system. The partnership with LDI has resulted not only in the creation of digital finding aids for both the Parry and Lord Collections, but also in the development of a new electronic database.

The MPCOL database is based on Matthew Kay's The Index of the Milman Parry Collection 1933-1935 (New York: Garland, 1995). At present it includes records only for the heroic songs and interviews in the Parry Collection and for the Albert B. Lord Collection, but MPCOL intends to expand coverage to include as well the Parry Collection's lyric songs and Lord’s 1937 collection of Albanian epic.

Access to the collection is by appointment only. Qualified scholars who wish to use the collection should contact the curatorial staff well in advance of intended visits. Prior notice of several weeks or more will ensure that researchers are able to read and audition the material which will be most useful to them.

The Milman Parry Collection, housed in room C of Harvard University's Widener Library, is currently not set up for browsing. The curators hope to expand access by making digitized portions of the collection available on the internet in the coming years.
