We are pleased to announce the release of a number of historical manuscripts in and about languages of the Pacific. We worked with the National Library of Australia to digitise microfilms and have now made them available as pdf files for download from our catalog. This work was supported by the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language
These documents can also be seen on the NLA’s Trove. Our catalog gives each entry a language code and makes the metadata available to the Open Language Archives Community to help make the material as widely known as possible.
