Language documentation is a subfield of linguistics that gathers primary data of an endangered language in its speech community in order to analyze and safekeep it for both posterity and language revitalization. A challenge which the present authors encountered in the course of our studies as graduate students specializing in language documentation was accessing resources and funds for studies and projects, which proved to be a significant hurdle. Through subjects designed for language documentation at the Department of Linguistics and Nigerian Languages, University of Uyo in Nigeria and personal efforts such as attending webinars, serving as interns, and undertaking language documentation projects, we gained opportunities to various resources prerequisite for language documentation students and scholars. In this paper, we identify various available resources that are relevant to language documentation in particular and linguistic research in general. The resources include books, journals, funding opportunities, software, language archives, and digital dictionary creation platforms, among others. The resources are explained and links to access the digital ones are provided.
