Summary
In view of the recent flurry of indigenous-language dictionaries published in North America, as well as the large amount of unpublished manuscripts in missionary and museum archives, this account will necessarily be selective. The only other historical account of the subject I know of is a short article in Franz Josef Hausmann et al.’s Wörterbücher: ein Internationales Handbuch zur Lexikographie. Other basic references are a very thorough account of published and unpublished material on Eskimo-Aleut languages by Michael Krauss; Victor Hanzeli’s Missionary Linguistics in New France, the most detailed account of missionary linguistics and archives of French-speaking Canada; M. Dale Kinkade’s account of the history of research on North-west Coast languages; and Victor Golla’s California Indian Languages, which has detailed sections on the history of research on California languages.
