Script Keepers Network – Safeguarding Scripts

Script Keepers Network Unites People To Protect And Revitalize The World’s Endangered Writing Systems.

Who We Are

The Script Keepers Network consists of two kinds of people: those who are trying to save and revive their traditional writing, and would like some help those who have the many kinds of skills needed for script revival, and are looking to help.

After only six months we have more than a hundred members. More than a dozen are engaged in revival efforts within their script communities; more than three dozen have already offered their particular expertise.

What We Do

Reviving a marginalized traditional script, especially one used by a minority community, requires a lot of work and a lot of different skills.

Are there still skilled teachers available? If not, can we offer someone whose background is in instructional design to help set up classes? Would it be helpful to publish educational materials? If so, we have people who can help with that.

Does the script have a good working font? If not, we have graphic designers and font designers willing to help.

Has the script been digitized, or accepted by Unicode? If not, we have people who have been through that important but long and arduous process.
