A collection of 70 stories in the South Efate language and English,
from Vanuatu.
The Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered
Cultures (PARADISEC) has been on the cutting edge of digital
archiving, building a significant historical collection and
community of practice engaged in the preservation and accessibility
of research materials. Over the ten years of PARADISEC's operation,
the repository has grown to represent over 860 languages from
across the world, including cultural materials from the Pacific
region and South-East Asia, North America, Africa and Europe. With
over 5000 hours of audio, the extent of the archival material, as
well as the inclusion of a variety of styles such as songs,
narratives and elicitation, has resulted in an invaluable resource
for researchers and communities alike.PARADISEC's innovation in
archival practice allows communities to access original recordings
of their own cultural heritage, and provides fieldworkers with a
wealth of primary material. Research, Records and Responsibility
explores developments in collaborative archiving practice between
archives and the communities they serve and represent,
incorporating case studies of historical recordings, visual data
and material culture. It brings together the work of Australian and
international scholars, commemorating ten years of PARADISEC, and
reflects on the development and future directions of research and
language archiving.
