http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/772522122

Includes correspondence, research notes, source material, International Phonetic Alphabet transcriptions, file cards of edited and unedited words, reel-to-reel tapes, and a typed manuscript explaining Bachman's methodology. Also contains correspondence of L.G. Van Loon, 1965-1977, and a notebook of his grandfather, Walter Hill, on Mohawk Valley Dutch, 1890s. This collection is the by-product of Van Cleaf Bachman's research into the Low Dutch language -- which he describes as a form of Holland Dutch spoken in parts of New York State and New Jersey by the early nineteenth century -- and the subsequent preparation of a Low Dutch dictionary.
