The Uysal-Walker Archive of Turkish Oral Narrative (U-W ATON) [правильнее сказать "Turkic"] is a repository situated at the Texas Tech University Libraries in Lubbock Texas.
The work towards an Archive began in 1961, culminating in the Uysal-Walker Archive of Turkish Oral Narrative we know today. During that year the three original Founders (Ahmet E. Uysal, Warren S. Walker and Barbara K. Walker) first began collecting materials from the field when they met in Ankara as a result of Warren Walker having been awarded a U.S. Fullbright Grant tenable in the Turkish Republic. After the first ten years of fieldwork, in many villages, the task of organization and the need for a permanent place began occupying their thoughts. With these concerns in the background, the original Founders eventually donated their holdings to Texas Tech University in 1980.
