Time for a 2017 PARADISEC activity update!
At our last update in May 2017 we held 25TB of archived material and now just 4 months later we have grown to 31TB of archived material! We have also increased the number of languages represented in the archive to 1116.
In the last 4 years PARADISEC has had 16,375 downloads, with 1058 registered users. Our catalog has had 11,000 sessions over the past 12 months. Significantly, these include 95 from PNG, 89 from Vanuatu, 33 from Fiji, 23 from the Solomon Islands, 20 from French Polynesia and 18 from New Caledonia.
Following on from a previous post in July this year – here – we are happy to announce that several more linguistic records from the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau (Pambu) microfilm collection are now available via PARADISEC’s repository.
This is the second batch of records to be made available this year by Pambu and PARADISEC; allowing community members, linguists and other researchers interested in this field free and open access to these fantastic documents.
