Resources
The Institute is rich in unique collections, databases and corpora, which serve as infrastructure helping create new knowledge. There are physical resources (slip collections, manuscripts, photos, tape recordings), as well as digital resources and language technology software. The resources are available to the public for free via the Center of Estonian Language Resources, META-SHARE, the CLARIN Virtual Language Observatory, and the Institute’s website.
