At the University of Cambridge Turin discovered a wealth of important materials —including photographs, films, tape recordings, and field notes—which had remained unstudied and were badly in need of care and protection.

　　Now, through the two organizations that he has founded—the Digital Himalaya Project and the World Oral Literature Project—Turin has started a campaign to make such documents, for the world available not just to scholars but to the younger generations of communities from whom the materials were originally collected.
