Description
Audio tape recordings made during linguistic - anthropological field work in the Western Highlands of PNG, mostly with Ku Waru people since 1981. Video and written material will be added to the collection eventually. Lects variously designated as Melpa, Ku Waru, Temboka, Kakuyl, and Imbonggu belong to a single dialect continuum with perhaps 250,000 speakers. Note first that when I use the term Ku Waru to name an ethnographic region, this should in no way be taken to imply any kind of sharp boundaries either among regional dialects areas or among distinct 'peoples' in this part of highland New Guinea. The dialect spoken at Kailge where Francesca and I were based belongs to a dialect continuum which includes over two hundred thousand speakers (show area on map 1). Although the dialects near the outer edges of this region are not mutually intelligible, within it there is nothing but continuous gradation among them. Nor is there any single set of mutually exclusive names for dialects or 'languages' within the region, or for the continuum in toto. The term 'Ku Waru' that we have fixed on for ethnographic purposes is one that is used to highlight what is common to the locales on either side of the Tambul Range, from Kailge across to Winjaka (show on map), but for other purposes the Wijaka people and dialects are differentially classified as 'Kakuyl' and the Kailge ones as 'Napilya', after the major rivers that flow through their respective valleys. What is true of dialect gradation within this region is equally true of other dimensions of cultural or ethnic differentiation. While people draw distinctions among features and practices associated with particular locales, there is extensive intermarriage and other forms of social interaction across such difference, and no sense of sharp boundaries among discrete ethnic groups. To be sure, there is an important distinction drawn between the bo 'indigenous' and the kewa 'foreign', but this is a sliding scale rather than a categorical opposition (Rumsey 1999a).

Description
Project funded by Universiti Brunei Darussalam (UBD). Audio and video texts were collected from Tutong speakers, generally aged above 60 yrs old, in the Tutong district of Brunei Darussalam, in 2007-2009. Project coordinator & recordist: Adrian Clynes. Speaker recruitment and Interviewer: Hj Ramlee Tunggal (retired secondary teacher, with a BA in Malay linguistics from UBD). Dictionary items elicitation: Juergen Burkhardt. Other support: Noor Azam Haji-Othman, Hj Ramlee Tingkong. Speakers of this language refer to it as (basa') Tutung or (with an older Malay-influenced spelling) Tutong. This is the only language in Brunei referred to in this way. The language label "Tutong 2" used by the Ethnologue following Wurm and Hattori 1981 is misleading. Wurm and Hattori's "Tutong 1" is referred to as the Dusun language in Brunei, and never (officially or informally) as "Tutong" (either 1 or 2).

Description
Collection made between 1994 and 1998 by David Luders and George Pakoasongi in Efate-Shepherd Island region of Vanuatu.
It records over thirty hours of speech and song. The speech is in Namakura language and Bislama and the song is in local languages. To these recordings is added one of a broadcast by Radio Vila on 1967. That recording concerns the chief Roimata whose burial was excavated by José Garanger in 1967 and the recorded broadcast is referred to in his published report of the excavation (Garanger, José 1972. Archéologie des Nouvelles-Hebrides: Contribution à la Connaissance des îles du Centre. Publications de la Societé des Oceanistes. No. 30. Paris. ORSTOM)
Much of this material is confidential and requires a password for access. Those recordings that do not include the first, LPC 1 (the Radio Vila broadcast), and some of those in the Bongabonga series, as indicated. Apart from LPC 1, the recordings are in four series, as follows.
SIMBOLO (1 to 11) Password required
This series is mostly song. They are named for the performer, Pastor Simbolo, an aore (‘songmaster’) originally of Mangarisu village, Tongoa island (Shepherd Is.). Pastor Simbolo, who claims to have been born in 1911, had the chiefly title of Taripoakoto. He did not begin a Western-style education (and thence go on to train as a Presbyterian pastor) until he had an extensive training in customs and songs on Tongoa.
MATANAURETONG (1 TO 7) Password required
This series is the history of the chief Ti Tongoa Liseiriki, told by Amos Ti Tongoa Liseiriki in Namakura language and Bislama.
BONGABONGA (1 to 35) Password required for most
This series contains the histories of the chiefs Taripoamata, Ti Matasso na Mata and Ti Matasso Tonoriki in Namakura language and Bislama of Bongabonga village, Tongoa and a number of other recordings in Namakura language. These include a ‘Life of a Chief’ series, two recordings concerning a critical dispute over succession to a chiefly title at Bongabonga, three on the relationships between chiefs at Bongabonga and between them and others elsewhere, two on custom law, one detailing the protocol of ceremonial pig-killing. Other material includes the responsibilities of a particular lesser chief of Bongabonga, an ‘Aspects of Life’ series covering various details of traditional life, a number of stories of notable events (shipwrecks, murders and chiefly assassinations) and relations between certain chiefs of Tongoa and Emae.

Tubusereia, Papua New Guinea Dance and Church Music, December 1969. 2 National Tapes - Recorded December 1969. 5 45rpm EP discs - Papua New Guinea Music 1969. 11 Photos from Tubusereia - Dec 1969.
The audio is from the predominantly Motu village of Tubusereia, near Moresby.
The depositor, Ian Campbell, recalls: "The recording was made when I was staying in the village in 1969-70 as part of the NUAUS ‘Village’ Scheme which operated in the late Australian colonial admin period and in 1969 was in its second year of operation – first was in 1968 – Australian uni students stay in PNG villages. Prior to the village stay I had been in contact, inter alia, at UNSW with Charles Lepani, who was then an undergrad at UNSW, now is PNG High Commissioner to Australia, and others, including Bernard Narakobi, later PNG Supreme Court Justice. Tubuseriea was the home village of Renagi Lohia, first PNG Ambassador to UN. The family I stayed with in Tubusereia was ‘Leah’. Later visited Wewak, Goroka, Chimbu area, Mt Hagen, Lae, Rabaul, including meetings in Rabaul with John Kaputin, later PNG Finance and Trade Minister."

Description
Mostly from my 1973-4 field trip to Batticaloa.
Elicitation tapes; free conversations; songs and music.
Language Note: Although the current ethnologue language categories provide a single code covering all "Indo-Portuguese", it has been recognized since the time of Schuchardt that the northern "Norteiro" varieties differ from the southern ones. Sri Lanka Portuguese is structurally quite different from the Norteiro varieties of Daman, Diu and Korlai, and would certainly be mutually unintelligible (though this statement has not been tested). I am currently documenting the differences and will be applying to have the current code "idb" retired and replaced by two (or more?) codes that reflect the linguistic differences.

Description
Audio recordings of Northeast Kiwai (Papua New Guinea). Recordings include mainly narratives, with some minimal pair and lexical item elicitation.
This material consists of
a) copies of a series of audiotapes; and
b) a set of written texts from the same period.
It was mostly collected in the early to mid sixties, though some goes back to the fifties. I have no record of the exact dates on which the recordings were made.
Some of the written texts (such as the one titled Tuoma) have been transcribed from the audiotapes, others were dictated to the writer. There is one text, written by a semi-literate Gope man, which I have left in the author’s own hand along with a few short autograph letters written by Uroma speakers.
The original audiotapes, the majority of which are 5” BASF reels, remain in my possession.
Nearly all the material is in the language spoken at the village called Kivaumai on the map Kikori Papua New Guinea prepared by the Royal Australian Survey Corps in 1979. The village (Ne’edai/Gowo’u) at the time of my visits was located on a pleasant black sand beach on the seaward side of Uramu [sic] Island, situated between Paia Inlet on the west & Era Bay on the east in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea; I understand that this village site was subsequently abandoned, perhaps due to the work of the tireless sea.

There is also an eaf file for each wav - they mostly contain one tier which logs the content of the recordings (in English). There are also text files - which contain the information in this logging tier.

Description
The materials in this collection were retrieved and digitised by Sascha Völlmin at the Department of Linguistics at Zurich where they had been donated by the recorder, Professor Scheller. Their addition in PARADISEC was made possible through the cooperation and support of Balthasar Bickel, Mathias Jenyn and Sascha Völlmin. The brief notes on the collection and on Professor Scheller’s research in Melanesia were compiled by Tonya Stebbins (Research Centre for Linguistic Typology at La Trobe University).
PARADISEC believes that many of the items provided through this guide are no longer the subject of copyright restrictions, or have been cleared for display in this service by the Copyright owners. However, PARADISEC invites any individuals who believe they hold current rights over items provided through this service to make contact.
Professor Scheller was born 17.5.1921 in Zurich and died 24.4.1991. He is remembered by colleagues and former students as being modest, highly intelligent and original. He was also noted for his commitment to attention to detail, being very diligent and careful. He had a great sense of humour, surfacing in his lectures and also occasionally in the recordings held by PARADISEC.
Scheller suffered from ill health throughout his career and, along with his tendency to be highly critical of his own work, this resulted in him publishing relatively little. He was a supportive mentor for a number of students and was widely liked by colleagues.
His interest in languages was surprisingly diverse: this included Indology (after becoming emeritus, he apparently translated a poetic work from the Sanskrit) as well as interests in Slavic a Celtic languages Plus he seems to also have studied non-European/Indogermanic languages (Turkish, Georgian)
Scheller spent 7 months travelling in Papua New Guinea in 1966. The recordings in this collection were gathered during this period. It is clear that his interest in non-Indogermanic languages significantly predates this time since he lectured on "The language families of the world" in 1960/61, displaying his enormous knowledge of the diversity of world languages, and especially his knowledge of Melanesian/Papuan. Scheller’s Habilitation apparently included discussions on how alienable and inalienable possession play a role in Indogermanic and this may have been the start of his interested in a wider typological profile of languages, including the languages of Melanesia which frequently distinguish these categories.
• 1940 started studying Philology & Indogermanic languages in Zurich
• 1948 PhD in Zurich (Die Oxytonierung der griechischen Substantiva auf -i?)
• 1948-1954: numerous scholarships / assignments all over Europe (Prague, Paris, Munich, Oxford)
• 1956/57 Habilitation in Zurich (Vedisch priy?- und die Wortsippe frei, freien, Freund. Eine bedeutungsgeschichtliche Studie)
• Then: Worked in Zurich & Fribourg & Munich
• 1975 Prof in Zurich, built a new institute from scratch, including a very good library comprising descriptions of many languages across the world
• 1998 emeritus

Description
"tapes of Maring language speakers (fringe Western Highlands and Madang Provinces PNG)- These are a mix or recordings of meetings, dispujtes, interviews and singing. The tapes date back to 1979, 1987 and 1991. I cannot pretend that Maring is an endangered language. Certainly in my experience it is in rude good health although it may well be changing under the impact of highlands Tok Pisin. On the other hand I think the tapes reflect what is now an historical record of the language from a very considerable variety of speakers and it is one that in the long run I woujld like to return to the Kwima community themselves. In this regard it may well be that the tapes would provide something of a record of certain rhetorical styles of speech making (see Merlan and Rumsey 1991) that may well be undergoing radical transformation or in decline."

Description
Records in this collection were made during fieldwork, mainly in Erakor Village, Efate, Vanuatu since 1996. They consist of audio recordings of South Efate speakers, originally on audio cassettes (hence there are often A and B sides of a single item). There is a total of over 40 hours of language material, and the collection includes time-aligned transcripts in Elan for many recordings, and interlinear text for a small proportion of them. It also includes field notes. The material here is the basis for Thieberger's grammar of South Efate which also cites primary material in this collection. Where there is a transcript the file has the same name as the recording with a .txt extension. These transcriptions are not as accurate as the versions that are found in the interlinear annotation, and also have relics of earlier transcription conventions (p$ and m$ for coarticulated p̃ and m̃).
Many of these transcripts have then been interlinearised in the version that can be found in NT8. More recordings and other material in South Efate can be found in collections NT1 to NT7 in PARADISEC. A description of the collections is given here: https://go.coedl.net/NafsanMaterial

II: Items 008 to 014 contain a mix of singing, chanting, drumming, and traditional stories
Ralph Lawton was a Methodist missionary from South Australia who lived on the island of Kiriwina, the biggest of the Trobriand Islands in Papua New Guinea, between 1961-1973. During that time, he made a series of audio recordings of the oral traditions, music and languages of the island. Ralph went on to receive a doctorate in linguistics from the Australian National University in 2013. These recordings cover a range of musical styles and they are a beautiful sonic record of the culture of the Trobriand Islands.

Description
Materials from a structured task for gathering enriched language data for descriptive, comparative and documentary purposes. The task involves collaborative narrative problem-solving and retelling by a pair or small group of language speakers, and was developed as an aid to investigating grammatical categories relevant to psychosocial cognition. The pictures set up a dramatic story where participants can feel empathetic involvement with the characters, and trace individual motivations, mental and physical states, and points of view. The data-gathering task allows different cultural groups to imbue the pictures with their own experiences, concerns, and conventions and stimulates the spontaneous use of previously under-recorded linguistic structures. Picture sets include "Family Problems" and "Crow and Jackal".

Description
This collection includes audio-video recordings of Syuba, spoken in the Ramechhap district of Nepal. It also contains a smaller collection of audio-video recordings of Ilam Yolmo, a mutually intelligible variety spoken in a different district of Nepal. These collections have been archived together because of their similarities and because they were recorded as part of the same research project. Many of the recordings are monologues, interviews or conversations. ELAN transcriptions are available for a subset of the collection, and will continue to be added as work on the collection progresses. There are also some experimental and elicited data, as well as supplementary materials including scanned notes, FLEx files, GPS data and publications about the language. This project is still in active development until June 2017.This collection includes audio-video recordings of Syuba, spoken in the Ramechhap district of Nepal.

There are also some experimental and elicited data, as well as supplementary materials including scanned notes, FLEx files, GPS data and publications about the language. This project is still in active development until June 2017.
The language is listed in the ISO codes as Kagate, but speakers in Ramechhap are increasingly using the name Syuba (Kagate is a Nepal word, while Syuba is the same name in their own language). The Yolmo variety spoken in Ilam is very similar to Syuba in Ramechhap, but the speaker have a history of referring to themselves and their language as Yolmo, which means it is categorised under a different ISO code.
Deposit contents
The majority of bundles in this collection are audio-video recordings. There are 8 and a half hours of narrative, conversations and interviews which can be broken down further by genre:
3 hours of data about the 2015 earthquakes in Nepal
2 hours of personal narratives other than earthquake
2 hours of historical narrative
1.5 hours of fiction narrative and two
There are also:
1 hour of descriptive texts
1.5 hours of song
3 hours of conversation
1.5 hours of stimuli tasks
7 hours of elicitation, which mostly covers tone, evidentiality and verb use
1 hour of video of people performing culturally important activities
There are also over 4.5 hours of recordings of people giving their consent for their recordings to be shared. While this is almost entirely in Nepali, and not Syuba, it contains a wealth of ethnographic information.
Approximately 3 hours of this data are in Ilam Yolmo, and the remainder are in Syuba. As of June 2016 there are interlinearised and translated ELAN transcriptions for 2 hours of Syuba data, and another 1 hours of transcriptions with Nepali translations. ELAN transcriptions and interlinearisations will continue to be added as they are processed.

Description
The bulk of the collection comprises recorded interviews with the people of Manus Province, Papua New Guinea, made from 1953 through the 1990s. These include interviews in which psychological data are being collected, interviews regarding historical events, and interviews with leaders and participants in contemporary events. There are also a number of recordings of public meetings and religious services. Most of the recordings are in the lingua franca of much of Papua New Guinea, Tok Pisin. Others are in the local languages of Manus people, and some provide Tok Pisin translation of local language material. Non-audio material includes photographs taken during field research in Papua New Guinea as well as original field notes.
This file will list and annotate the tapes processed as part of Project Manus Digital. In this project many of the tapes I made in Manus (the whole Admiralty Island Archipelago, now known as Manus Province of Papua New Guinea, will be played from the reel to reel and cassette audio recordings into the Creative Labs Sound Blaster Awe 64 value sound card of my computer. This will make an analogue to digital conversion and store the digital copy of these analogue/ audio tapes. The digital copies will be stored first on Iomega Jaz disks, later on CD or DVD disks. While the tapes are playing and being digitally copied I will list them and in many cases annotate them in this file on my MS Word 97 word processor. In some cases I will transcribe sections of a tape in a separate word processor file. When that happens it will be noted in this file TapeWork/ntapes”
The tapes are in several series. A—stands for AIE or Admiralty Island Expedition, 1953-54. Margaret Mead was in Manus with TS and Lenore Foerstel (then Lenora Shargo Schwartz). We were based first in Bunai village, then in Pere village on the South Coast of Manus at that time. All tapes were reel-to-reel, made with a Magnecorder tape recorder powered by a gasoline generator.
The “N—series stands for NGAI, New Guinea Admiralty Island Expedition from 1963-1966. TS was accompanied by Lola Romanucci Ross (then Lola Romanucci Schwartz) for the first two years; alone for the third year. We were based in various villages, mostly Pere but for six months each in Sori, Mokareng, and for a shorter time, in Lorengau. Work in Bunai (an amalgamated village of Manus and Usiai) near Pere. RAI refers to “Return to Admiralty Island” in 1967 by TS. The CA expedition (which I have just assigned these initials) was in 1973 and 75. CA stands for Cognitive Acculturation, a TS project funded by the National Institute of Education. In 1973 I was accompanied by 3 then graduate students, Edwin Hutchins, Geoffrey White, and Michael Smith. I returned myself in 1975. Various trips of from 1 to 3 months follow. The last of these was in 1993.
There are between 300 and 400 tapes.
Note: There are a number of empty items in this collection, a result of the metadata being supplied before the recordings were provided. The Tuzin Archive at the University of San Diego has also created a collection for this material, see https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/collection/bb1233646w.
Under the N-series of NGAI Expedition, two Items TS1-N018 and TS1-N159 were recorded in the Sepik Region. (Steven Gagau, September 2017)

Description
Recordings, mainly of wordlists from Oceanic Austronesian languages, most of them in Papua New Guinea, collected as a basis for comparative-historical work, mostly between 1977 and 1982. Consultants were often students training at the then Goroka Teachers' College to be high-school teachers. Some were high-school students. Sometimes, especially with earlier recordings, all or part of the elicitation session was recorded. In other cases a consultant had provided a written list, and s/he was asked to read it for the tape. There were four wordlists, A, B, C and D, plus a phrase list for collecting grammatical structures. The wordlists contain 430 items and were intended for historical linguistic purposes, but only rarely did I collect anywhere near 430 items. Recordings often do not cover all four lists. The recordings are of varying quality, because the equipment was primitive (a battery-driven portable cassette recorder), recording conditions were sometimes difficult, and storage conditions were not always the best.

Description
This is a repository of materials related to the Eskaya community of Bohol with particular reference to the Eskayan language. Most of the materials were recorded, filmed, scanned or photographed by Piers Kelly between 2005 and 2011. Exceptions are the oral history recordings of Zoë Bedford made in 2003-2004. Important postgraduate work from Cristina Martinez-Juan from the 1990s was added later. It is at PK2-50.
The Eskayan language was assigned the ISO639-3 code [esy] in 2014 however this change has not yet been reflected in the PARADISEC Ethnologue list. For the time being, the collection is labelled 'Cebuano'.
File-naming conventions for media types:
AV - Audiovisual
DISS – Dissertations and other postgraduate research
GOV – Government documents
MAN – Manuscript
MED – News media
PUB – Publications
PIX – photographs
File-naming conventions for locations:
BAL – Balingasao, Valencia (9.64083 N, 124.221 E)
BIAB – Biabas, Guindulman ( 9°48'20.52"N, 124°24'13.92"E)
CAD – Cadapdapan, Candijay (9°49'30.18"N, 124°25'31.92"E)

TAY – Taytay, Duero (9°45'37.56"N, 124°21'12.72"E)
Those with questions about the archive can contact Piers Kelly (Firstname dot Lastname at gmail dot com).
The Eskaya Digital Archive contains the following types of digitised materials related to Eskaya history, culture and language:
• Manuscripts (handwritten Eskaya documents)
• Publications (peer-reviewed commentaries)
• Dissertations (postgraduate research)
• Media (newspaper and magazine articles)
• Grey literature (various unpublished letters and commentaries)
• Genealogies (gedcom text files and photographs of surviving parish records)
• Pictures (people and scenes from Eskaya villages, not including photographs of manuscripts)
• Audio and video recordings (Eskaya people speaking, singing or writing Eskayan)
For an introduction to Eskaya history, culture and language see my dissertation at PK2-07-DISS09. This document also summarises and evaluates earlier commentaries on the Eskayan language (as compiled in PK2-09-MED) and explains the context in which the materials in The Eskaya Digital Archive were collected.
Those who are visiting this archive for the first time might have trouble isolating the richest and rarest materials. The following 'jewels in the crown' are recommended for new visitors:
• PK2-03-MANBIAB06: a rare phrasebook
• PK2-03-MANBIAB08: Interesting auto-ethnography with elements that may be considered unorthodox today
• PK2-03-MANBIAB12: the Castañares Manuscript (housed in Bohol Provincial Museum, probably created in Biabas then brought to Taytay)
• PK2-04-MANCAD05: The famous notebook of Eleuteria Faustina Viscayda which represents her attempt to standardise Eskaya literature. She was the longest surviving scribe of Mariano Datahan and died in 2009.
• PK2-09-MED05: Brenda Abregana's letter to editor of Who
• PK2-09-MED08: Brenda Abregana's 1985 letter to Governor Butalid
• PK2-10-MISC01: Juan Datahan's USAFFE orders
PK2-13-PIXBIAB01: USAFFE orders
PK2-13-PIXBIAB03: Picture of Mariano Datahan
PK2-13-PIXBIAB13: Church photo 1
PK2-13-PIXBIAB21: Church photo 2 (Flores de Mayo)
PK2-13-PIXBIAB76: national anthem flag school
PK2-14-PIXCAD10: Group photo of Cadapdapan teachers
PK2-14-PIXCAD19: child and bird
PK2-16-PIXTAY44: kids in front of sign
PK2-16-PIXTAY79: adults and kids class Taytay
PK2-15-PIXTAG01: Sandugo
-Naning speech
Problems to address in the Eskaya Digital Archive:
Repetitions: USAFFE orders, Cayo Lusica certificate
Repetitions: PK2-42-AVTAY21 and PK2-42-AVTAY36 are identical (and others, see finder list)
Repetitions: PK2-21-AVBIAB31 and PK2-25-AVCAD09 are identical (sort out whether it is really in cadapdapan or Biabas)

Description
The project consists of digitising the 1939 Roro-French dictionary by Père Paulo Coluccia, MSC and adding additional words as necessary. Roro/Waima is an Austronesian language of the Central Province of Papua New Guinea. The project will correct spelling and grammar and create English glosses of head words and illustrative sentences direct from Roro/Waima language to English. Existing French glosses will be retained. Audio recordings will be made for headwords and most sentences. Illustrations will be created where possible. The data will be entered into Lexique Pro and it is intended that two formats (electronic and printed) will be produced for community use by October 2018. The project has broad community endorsement and offers of practical support from the National Museum of PNG and the Director of Research at the University of PNG. Nominated language consultants are Ikupu Paru and Freddie Ovia, both from Hisiu Village, with linguistic guidance by Colleen Hattersley.

Keo language data in the form of audio cassette recordings, their transcriptions and translations in Indonesian and English in notebooks and Toolbox files. Recordings include conversations, personal narratives, folk stories, songs, ritual performances.
Materials were collected during fieldwork trips in 1998 and 2000. Most materials were collected from speakers in the village of Udiworowatu, in south central Flores. Additional materials were collected from Keo speakers originally from Udiworowatu who resided in the towns of Ende, and Maumere in Flores, Kupang on the island of West Timor, and Denpasar on the island of Bali. The materials were collected with a view to producing a grammar of the Keo language. Written texts were collected from Keo-speaking seminarians at Ledalero seminary located just outside of the town of Maumere on Flores.
Written materials:
NB Handwritten notebooks. These notebooks were used in Indonesia. Notebooks contain elicited data, word lists, and transcriptions, glosses and translations of texts recorded on audio cassette. Notebook 5 consists solely of written texts that do not have any audio recordings. The texts in this notebook were handwritten by the authors of the texts, while glossing and translation were done by Louise. All other handbooks were written by Louise. The numbering of notebooks is based on the number assigned to the physical notebook. Blank pages, and pages containing sensitive material were not included in the collection.

Description
Data collected on Idi between 2014 and 2018 for the ARC Laureate Project "The Wellsprings of Linguistic Diversity". Most recordings were done in either Dimsisi village, its satellite communities Birem and Iblamnd, or in Bimadbn village.
The Wellsprings of Linguistic Diversity was a five year Laureate project awarded by the Australian Research Council to Professor Nicholas Evans within the School of Culture, History and Language in the College of Asia and the Pacific, at the Australian National University. The project ran from 2014 to 2019.
The project sought to address fundamental questions of linguistic diversity and disparity through an analysis of linguistic variation and change. The project addressed a crucial missing step in existing linguistic research by addressing the question of what drives linguistic diversification so much faster in some societies than in others. It did so by undertaking intensive, matched case studies of speech communities across Australia and the Pacific, allowing researchers to detect variations in languages as they occur and compare the amounts and types of variation found in different sorts of settings, with a particular focus on small-scale multilingual speech communities. It aimed to generate an integrated model of language variation and change, building in interactions between social and linguistic processes. The research findings offered insights into the enormous diversity of human experience, vital for fields as diverse as cognitive science, human evolutionary biology, anthropology and archaeology.

Iban recordings. Tapes Lodged by M Heppell
There are four sets of tapes lodged by M. Heppell based on three fieldwork experiences and one on occasional visits to different parts of Kalimantan:
1. Iban. I did fieldwork with the Iban from the end of 1971 to the beginning of 1974, basing the fieldwork in the headwaters of the upper Batang Ai. My focus was the Iban judicial process. Prior to going into the field, I spent about 3 months in Kuching going through all the old Brooke casebooks from which I extracted descriptions of behaviours which led to litigation. Prior to going into the field I used these descriptions to compile a questionnaire designed to understand the application of adat to contentious behaviour. The questionnaire is also on the file under Adat Questionnairelandscape. I interviewed various adat leaders during my period in the field and, over a two week intensive period, two in particular, Alek, a Balau leader living in a resettlement project at Melugu and Limbang, a Delok leader living in another resettlement project at Skim Skrang.
There are other tapes about various subjects.
2. Assem. The Assem are a Bidayuh group living in West Kalimantan in high country at the sources of the Kembayung River which runs in a westerly direction and drains into the Sambas river just below Sanggau Ledo and the Padé which runs in a south easterly direction and drains into the Landak river a few kilometres below Serimbu. The fieldwork was commissioned by the Australian government to determine the social impacts of a proposed hydro-electric dam which was never built. The fieldwork was short, lasting 3½ months from the end of 1981 to the beginning of 1982. The work was done in Assem and a dictionary (of sorts) compiled. Recordings were made of various meetings in the village of Tagoi, most specifically those relating to dispute settlement.
3. Bhuket. There are three small groups of Bhuket, one living at Long Ayak on the Balui River in Sarawak, a second just below Long Apari in the headwaters of the Mahakam River in East Kalimantan and a third in the upper reaches of the Kapuas River in West Kalimantan. The fieldwork was commissioned by the Sarawak government to assess the social impacts of a proposed dam at Bokun and lasted six weeks in 1988. As the period was so short and the Bhuket spoke Iban fluently, the fieldwork was conducted in Iban. The bulk of the tapes consist of enumeration of the Iban adat questionnaire to Bhuket adat, all of which by then had relevance as the Bhuket had become unsuccessful hill rice agriculturalists a generation or so ago. The remaining tapes consist of the telling of Bhuket oral sagas and other poetry.
4. The fourth set of tapes are in Bahasa Indonesia and relate to an interest in the material culture of Dayak groups. I made a number of very short visits to Borneo between 1990 and 2010 and took the opportunity to interview local Dayaks about aspects of their material culture based on photographs of objects that I had taken in museums and artefact shops.

Description
Annotated audio and video recordings of different genres containing all text examples cited in the PhD dissertation “A Grammar of Bulu Puroik”. The texts included in the grammar are segments of the recordings here. Some recordings contain more than one text. For example, the recording VISITKR contains the texts SULPH, LANG and WOOD. Besides the media files, every item contains annotations as plain org-mode (.org) and XML (.eaf), and as a pdf. The data in the .org, .eaf and .pdf-files is equivalent.
*** org ***
The .org files are best viewed in GNU emacs with org-mode. For playing the sound files org-player.el is required. However, being plain text, the org-files can be read with any text editor. Videos are currently not played in emacs.
*** eaf ***
The .eaf files can be viewed with ELAN. They contain following tiers (for each speaker): ref – with a unique reference id composed of the text label and the time (e.g. SAGO00:12), disslabel – the reference id as used in the grammar (often identical to ref), tx – transcription, word – words in phonological orthography, morph – morphemes, gl – glosses of morphemes, morph_id – id of morpheme such as used in in the Bulu Puroik lexicon, ft – free translation, com – comment
*** pdf ***
Unlike in the other data formats, in the pdf-files every morpheme is linked to a glossary. The pdfs are best viewed with a pdf-viewer which shows a snippet of the link target (e.g. Skim).

Videos, audio recordings and images from fieldwork among Gutob speakers, 2015-2017. The language documentation materials include an extensive lexical and grammatical collection in the form of recorded words, phrases, and oral texts. Over 13,000 of the collected Gutob words were compiled into the first-ever online Gutob Talking Dictionary. The related transcriptions, recorded materials and dictionary database spreadsheet are all included in this deposit.
The Gutob Talking Dictionary is available at: http://talkingdictionary.swarthmore.edu/gutob/
For all of the lexical and grammatical content, the associated master list and all transcriptions are included. For many of the recorded grammatical elicitations, as well as many of the video and audio recordings of oral texts, the relevant ELAN annotations are also included (in .EAF format). These items were collected, edited, annotated and transcribed by Gregory D. S. Anderson with help from researchers Opino Gomango and Bikram Jora, speakers Bondu Kirsani, Tankadhar Sisa, Kamla Sisa and Radha Kirsani, as well as field assistants Gajendra Pradhan, Sujesh Gomango and Satosh Padni. The materials were organized and archived with PARADISEC by Anna Luisa Daigneault for Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages.
Assistance with digitizing the annotations using the ELAN software was provided by the following volunteers: Katie Li, Shelby Sands, Murilo da Silva Barros, Henry Wu, Hannah Bishop, and Michael Horlick, Dylan Charter, Dave Prine, Theresa Usuriello, Juhyae Kim, Edward Hess, Amatullah Brown, Zainah Asfoor, Gillian Gardiner, Virginia Vázquez, Sarah Agou, Charis Nandor, Corinne Van Ryckeghem, Leena Dihingia, Thorin Engeseth, Priyanka Pradeepkumar, Wojciech Zeyland, Jacquelyn Duffy, Vasiliki Moutzouri, Durgesh Rajan, Andrea Macanovic, Anna Peckham, Charlie Baranski, Cheyenne Wing, Kevin Sanders, Pranav Merchant.
The Gutob language documentation project was made possible by award no. 1500092 from the National Science Foundation, "Documentation of Gutob, an endangered Munda language of India.” This support is gratefully acknowledged.
Gutob data from this deposit was presented by Dr. Gregory Anderson and Dr. Bikram Jora at various international academic conferences between 2016 and 2018. Gutob research was included in presentations at the Symposium About Language and Society (SALSA), Documentary Linguistics: Asian Perspectives (DLAP-2), the 7th International Conference on Austroasiatic Linguistics (ICAAL 7), New Ways of Analyzing Variation Asia-Pacific (NWAV-AP5), the International workshop on typological profiles of language families of South Asia, the 1st International Conference of Munda Linguistics, the International Conference on Indian Languages in Contact Situations: Historical, Typological and Sociolinguistic Perspectives, as well as at other events.

Description
Hans Fischer was formerly Director of the Museum für Völkerkunde and Professor of Socio-cultural anthropology (Ethnologie), University of Hamburg. He began fieldwork in New Guinea in 1958 in villages the lower Watut River and among the Anga-speaking Jeghuje on the Banir River. After brief initial visits to the Wampar area, he conducted longer fieldwork in Gabmadzung in 1965, then again in 1971/72, 1976, 1988, 1990, 1993, 1997, 1999/2000, 2003/04 and 2009. The recordings in the collection were made in 1958, 1965 and 1971/72. His research covered various topics: settlement and household organization, kinship, language and oral traditions, and material culture including, for example, string figures.
Some of the recorded texts have been used in the following publications:

The Wellsprings of Linguistic Diversity was a five year Laureate project awarded by the Australian Research Council to Professor Nicholas Evans within the School of Culture, History and Language in the College of Asia and the Pacific, at the Australian National University. The project ran from 2014 to 2019.
The project sought to address fundamental questions of linguistic diversity and disparity through an analysis of linguistic variation and change. The project addressed a crucial missing step in existing linguistic research by addressing the question of what drives linguistic diversification so much faster in some societies than in others. It did so by undertaking intensive, matched case studies of speech communities across Australia and the Pacific, allowing researchers to detect variations in languages as they occur and compare the amounts and types of variation found in different sorts of settings, with a particular focus on small-scale multilingual speech communities. It aimed to generate an integrated model of language variation and change, building in interactions between social and linguistic processes. The research findings offered insights into the enormous diversity of human experience, vital for fields as diverse as cognitive science, human evolutionary biology, anthropology and archaeology.

Description
This is a collection of verbal arts and speech styles from the Western Desert of Australia, in particular those of the Ngaanyatjarra and Ngaatjatjarra peoples. The mutually intelligible Western Desert dialects Ngaanyatjarra, Ngaatjatjarra and Pitjantjatjara are still spoken by approximately 2000 people who reside in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands region of south-east Western Australia. Their oral traditions are central to cultural practice and social interaction. They embrace sign language and gesture, narrative practices as well as the use of graphic symbols that accompany sand story narratives and turlku (song and dance) and games. These multimodal speech arts are a valued aspect of the traditions of Western Desert people, yet they are highly endangered.
From 2012-2019 Ngaatjatjarra linguist Elizabeth Marrkilyi Ellis worked with linguistic anthropologist Inge Kral and linguist Jennifer Green to document these endangered verbal arts. With women and girls we filmed the traditional practice of mirlpa, or sand storytelling, and with younger storytellers we recorded their adaptation of this drawing practice to iPads. Tjuma or other oral stories were documented, with male and female storytellers. We also recorded children's games and songs 'Tjilkuku - for children' as well as traditional sign language. This collection draws on various project sources.
The research was supported by ELDP (Endangered Languages Documentation Programme) Small Grant SG0187. Jennifer Green was supported by an ARC (Australian Research Council) Fellowship (DP110102767) and Inge Kral by an ARC DECRA Award (DE120100720). The next phase (2015-2019) was supported by an ARC Discovery Indigenous Fellowship (IN150100018) for Elizabeth Marrkilyi Ellis. And an ARC DECRA Award (DE160100873) for Jennifer Green. Enormous support also came from the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language (CE140100041).

Description
The Workshop on Documenting Minority Languages in Nusa Tenggara Timur was held 7-13 May 2018 in Kupang, NTT at the Universitas Kristen Artha Wacana (UKAW). The goal of the workshop was to provide practical training in language documentation for people from Nusa Tenggara Timur with an interest in their local and regional languages, and have the potential to play a major role in documenting these languages. In addition to classroom study, the workshop included three days of field study by eight different teams. These teams visited Desa Bolok (Bahasa Helong), Nekmese and Burain (Bahasa Uab Meto), Pukdale (Bahasa Termanu), and Rote (Bahasa Thie and Bahasa Lole). In addition, Bahasa Abui was studied with Abui speakers living in the Kupang area, and Bahasa Sar was studied with a speaker who was visiting from Pantar. The documentation deposited here was compiled in a single day on 13 May 2018 and as such should not be considered to be final products. Still, these data demonstrate the enormous potential of well-trained local documentation teams to complete professional quality documentation in a relatively short amount of time. One of the greatest challenges for documentary linguistics is the lack of capacity, especially in regions were language endangerment is most severe. It is our hope that the workshop participants will continue in their efforts to document local languages and preserve the rich linguistic heritage of NTT.
This workshop would not have been possible without the assistance of many people. We would especially like to thank UKAW for hosting the workshop and providing meeting space on campus. We are indebted to the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research and the United States National Science Foundation for providing the funding which made this workshop possible. And we thank the Language Documentation Training Center at the University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa for providing equipment and training modules. Finally, we express our greatest thanks to the speakers and language communities in NTT for sharing their homes and the languages with the workshop participants.

This collection contains audio and video recordings, annotations and transcriptions from fieldwork conducted between 2008 and 2017 on a Tangsa variety called Hakhun Tangsa. This Tangsa variety is spoken by around 10 thousand speakers mainly in Changlang and Tirap Districts of Arunachal Pradesh, in India and across the border in the Sagaing Division of Myanmar.
Initial fieldwork was conducted for and supported by Dr. Stephen Morey’s research project titled “The Traditional Songs and Poetry of Upper Assam – A Multifaceted Linguistic and Ethnographic Documentation of the Tangsa, Tai and Singpho Communities in Margherita, Northeast India” funded under the DOBES programme by Volkswagen Foundation. Fieldwork from May 2015 till April 2017 was supported by my dissertation improvement grant no. BCS-1500694 titled “Doctoral Dissertation Research: A Descriptive Grammar of Hakhun Tangsa” funded by the National Science Foundation, USA, under the DEL-DDRIG programme.

Description
Audio recordings and photographic slides received from Peter Crowe's personal collections. This box of material was in Ross Clark's office in Auckland and he gave the box to PARADISEC. We wrote to Russell Crowe to ask if he had any advice about his uncle's collection but we received no reply.
------------------------------------------
This collection of slides documents a number of Peter Crowe’s research interests, such as cultural and musical rituals as well as the Vanuatu Oral Traditions Project and Vanuatu Cultural Centre (VCC). Many slides are Crowe’s documentation of cultural events, showing events such as pig hunting rituals and slit gongs, which Crowe went on to write about.
Crowe dedicated a large amount of his time to the Vanuatu Oral Traditions Project and he wrote an article about the process of the project. The project began in 1976 and had two branches, one led by French linguist Jean-Michel Charpentier in Port Vila and the other by Crowe in the northern islands. PARADISEC is still looking for many of the recordings that were made as part of this project. Unfortunately, the worst-case scenario is that they were destroyed by Cyclone Uma in 1987.
Crowe, while mainly working in the northern islands, helped develop the VCC in Port Vila. The VCC is still operating today and has a strong relationship with PARADISEC, including the VKS2 collection. There are slides which document the Maewo branch of the Cultural Centre (referred to in the slides as ‘Maewo Ofis’ or ‘Niu Hebridis Kalsaral Senta Maewo Ofis’). The VCC is also connected to the Oral Traditions Project as it houses/ed copies of recordings made in the northern islands. Kirk Huffman, who worked with Crowe and was a curator at the VCC is featured on an episode of the PARADISEC podcast TOKSAVE (episode 9: Paama, Vanuatu, Sharks and shark spirits).
One person shown in a number of slides is Jeffery Uli (Jeffrey is also listed in the archive under his full name ‘Jeffery Ulimeruana’ or ‘Jeffery Uli Meruana’) who was one of two people who worked closely with Crowe on the Vanuatu Oral Traditions Project. There is also James Gwero who isn’t mentioned by name in the slides but is mentioned by Crowe in articles. Both Gwero and Uli maintained the Vanuatu Oral Traditions Project after Crowe left Vanuatu, some of their recordings can be found in the VKS collections.
These are articles written by Peter Crowe relating to this collection.

Description
This collection comprises a wide range of audio and video materials documenting the linguistic, communicative and cultural practices of the Phola people. The majority of these materials were recorded by Manuel David González Pérez between 2018 and 2020 in Luodie village in Yuanjiang County of Yunnan Province in the People's Republic of China as part of his PhD in Linguistics at the Australian National University. Exceptions include some video recordings created by local community members themselves within the framework of the above-mentioned PhD project.
The Phola language was first brought to the attention of the international scholarly audience by Jamin Pelkey, who completed a PhD thesis (2008) on the sociolinguistic distribution of little known language varieties of Southern Yunnan Province. It was assigned the ISO-639-3 code [ypg] which is adopted in this collection as well.
However, all the data included in this collection comes exclusively from a single Phola speaking village and great care should be exercised in making assumptions about linguistic or cultural sameness. Preliminary in-situ observations by the compiler suggest that different Phola villages exhibit sometimes significant differences in their phonologies, and to a lesser extent their vocabularies and even grammatical patterns. Nonetheless, mutual intelligibility appears to be warranted for all Phola villages currently known to both the compiler and Luodie villagers themselves.
For an introduction to the Phola language and its speakers, the visitor is referred to González Pérez 2022's PhD thesis, which is titled "Grammar, dimension and deixis in Phola: A Tibeto-Burman language of China.". Chapter in particular should be of interest to most visitors as it surveys various aspects of Phola culture, both material and symbolic. This is followed by a sketch grammar, which should be of interest to descriptive and typologically minded linguists alike. The thesis also includes conceptually orientated chapters on the semantics and pragmatics of words encoding dimensional and spatial contrasts, which should be of interest to linguists, anthropologists and other social scientists.
For those visiting the collection for the first time, the most valuable entry point is probably YPG1-20100131_05, which is an audio recording of a traditional story of cultural significance to Luodie Pholas. This is the story of "the fallen men cliff" which narrates the heroic defence of Luodie village by a mythical character who is said to have single-handedly warded off an incursion of bandits. An Elan file including a full transcription in International Phonetic Alphabet and a preliminary working romanisation is provided as well as translations into Mandarin Chinese, English and five other languages (French, German, Hindi, Russian and Spanish).
Those with an interest in ethnomusicological and ethnochoreographic issues are advised to consult YPG1-20181218_06 through to YPG1-20181218_09, YPG1-20191215_02 and YPG1-20191229_04.
Metadata conventions
The file naming is undergirded by the following conventions:
First the collection name is given as YPG1 as this is the first major project of documentation targeting the Phola speech community.
Then a date is provided in the format YYYYMMDD followed by the number of the recording event in chronological order. For example, the first recording goes back to the sixth of December of 2018. Given that four recording events were carried out on that day, there are four items corresponding to that date:
YPG1-20181206_01
YPG1-20181206_02
YPG1-20181206_03
YPG1-20181206_04
The naming system includes information on the microphones and recording device involved. This is sometimes followed by lowercase letters indicating separate files created within the same recording event. Thus, for example, on the 20th of November of 2019, many files were created during an excursion to Hatu Cave, a site of cultural significance for the Pholas. Finally, the file extension indicates the file type (e.g., whether it is an audio file or a video file)
The following file name is explicated as a practical illustration:
YPG1-20191120_02-H2na.wav
Audio recording belonging to the first collection of Phola materials corresponding to the second recording event of the 20th of November of 2019. This audio recording was the first file to be created by the H2n hand-held audio recorder.
The full list of abbreviations is as follows:
ext = external microphone
ext1 = external microphone number 1
ext2 = external microphone number 2
int = internal microphone
H5 = Zoom audiorecorder H5
H2n = Hand-held Zoom audioecorder H2n
Q8 = Zoom audio and video recorder Q8
XA20 = Canon audio and video recorder XA20
MIUI = Xiaomi mobile phone audio and video recorder
A small number of audio files stemming from WeChat audio messages have also been included. These are indicated as such by using 'wechat' instead of a recorder code.

Description
The elicitations were made in 1988 and 1990 when Haraka Gaudi from Port Moresby came to the University of Toronto in order to pursue a graduate degree in Library Science. We appointed him as Teaching Assistant for our Field Linguistics course (JAL 445). Haraka Gaudi proved to be an inspiring leader and outstanding linguistic resource, and the courses in the relevant years were filled with outstanding students, many of whom went on to become language professionals and professors.
We hope our preliminary studies of this fascinating language, abetted by the good graces of our friend and colleague Haraka Gaudi, will find appreciative and ambitious users who will make good use of it.
The database consists of three parts:
1 Koita analyses
Analyses of Koita linguistic structures from a selection of exceptional research essays with comments and annotations by the professor. There is also a succinct note offering five arguments against the “Maori analysis,” which maintains that Koita stems are consonant-‐‑final.
2 Koita elicitation
About 200 pages of field notes with material elicited from Haraka Gaudi transcribed in IPA in the hand of the professor (who is the depositor). There is some repetition in the first pages of the two iterations of the course as we begin by eliciting nouns and other small items. The elicitations then become more interesting linguistically as we move to inflected and derived forms, phrases, clauses, embeddings and finally texts.
3 Lexical files
179 lexical entries with headwords in IPA notation, the gloss, the context in which it was elicited, the contextual gloss (“E-‐‑gloss”), morphology, comments, and its location in the elicitation files.

These recordings started being collected in 2015 in Ximeng County (西盟县), Lancang County (澜沧县), Menghai County (勐海县) and Shuangjiang County (双江县). The speakers are officially identified as Wazu (佤族) and Bulangzu (布朗族) which actually include some different but relatively related ethnic groups who have different autonyms and speak mutually unintelligible languages. According to the current study, these languages are classified into the Waic branch of the Mon-Khmer family, ultimately belonging to the Austro-Asiatic phylum.

Sociolinguistic interviews conducted in Cootamundra, New South Wales, Australia
The Wellsprings of Linguistic Diversity was a five year Laureate project awarded by the Australian Research Council to Professor Nicholas Evans within the School of Culture, History and Language in the College of Asia and the Pacific, at the Australian National University. The project ran from 2014 to 2019.
The project sought to address fundamental questions of linguistic diversity and disparity through an analysis of linguistic variation and change. The project addressed a crucial missing step in existing linguistic research by addressing the question of what drives linguistic diversification so much faster in some societies than in others. It did so by undertaking intensive, matched case studies of speech communities across Australia and the Pacific, allowing researchers to detect variations in languages as they occur and compare the amounts and types of variation found in different sorts of settings, with a particular focus on small-scale multilingual speech communities. It aimed to generate an integrated model of language variation and change, building in interactions between social and linguistic processes. The research findings offered insights into the enormous diversity of human experience, vital for fields as diverse as cognitive science, human evolutionary biology, anthropology and archaeology.

Description
This course was an introduction to linguistic field methods offered at the Linguistics Society of America's Summer Institute in 2011, held in Boulder, Colorado.
Language Consultant: Wasang Baiio
The class worked from scratch with a speaker of the Idi language, spoken in Western Province, Papua New Guinea. The students had one month to discover as much as possible about the structure of the language, at all levels - phonological, morphological, syntactic, semantic - through a combination of structured questioning and working with texts that were recorded from the speaker. The emphasis was on how to discover the systematicity of an unknown language on its own terms, through asking the right questions as its architecture gradually emerges. By the end of the course the goal was to present a collective mini-description of the language with accompanying archived materials.

The Wellsprings of Linguistic Diversity was a five year Laureate project awarded by the Australian Research Council to Professor Nicholas Evans within the School of Culture, History and Language in the College of Asia and the Pacific, at the Australian National University. The project ran from 2014 to 2019.
The project sought to address fundamental questions of linguistic diversity and disparity through an analysis of linguistic variation and change. The project addressed a crucial missing step in existing linguistic research by addressing the question of what drives linguistic diversification so much faster in some societies than in others. It did so by undertaking intensive, matched case studies of speech communities across Australia and the Pacific, allowing researchers to detect variations in languages as they occur and compare the amounts and types of variation found in different sorts of settings, with a particular focus on small-scale multilingual speech communities. It aimed to generate an integrated model of language variation and change, building in interactions between social and linguistic processes. The research findings offered insights into the enormous diversity of human experience, vital for fields as diverse as cognitive science, human evolutionary biology, anthropology and archaeology.

Description
Redmond Barry was a founder of the University of Melbourne, of which he was first chancellor (1853), a position he held until his death. He had a life-long interest in the welfare of Aboriginal people, often acting in their defence in court cases. In the 1860s he worked to collate a set of vocabularies of Aboriginal languages. In a letter dated 24 December 1866, he wrote about:
Vocabularies rendering English words with the languages of the various tribes of the Aboriginal natives of different parts of Australia. These have been forwarded to me by gentlemen to whom I sent them. […]
Five hundred copies were printed and of these several were sent to Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia and Western Australia, as well as others distributed in Victoria.
The 1867 publication of thirteen Australian language vocabularies resulted from this questionnaire. Unfortunately, no copies of the original questionnaire have been found, and we do not know if there were more vocabularies received by Barry than are produced in this booklet.
A scanned copy of this document is available at the National Library of Australia: https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/Record/656466
The booklet contains vocabularies of up to 700 items for the following Australian languages.
Wannikin (Mt Rouse tribe)( Djab Wurrung?); Mt Talbot tribe (Nundadjali?); upper Murray tribe; lower Murray tribe; Swan Hill tribe; Wannon (Yarlook tribe); lower Goulburn tribe; Lake Tyer tribe (Krowathunkooloong?); Maryborough tribe; Bewa (Lake Hindmarsh)(Biwadjali?); Maal (Sth Aust.) (Ngarkat (Kulin)); Adelaide tribe (Kaurna); Tasmania - Mt Royal and Bruny Island.
It also contains a vocabulary of a New Caledonian laguage which Prof Claire Moise has determined to be Nyelâyu de Balade.

Description
This collection contains audio and video recordings, photos and transcriptions for data collected (between 2019-2022) from the Pazeh-Kaxabu community in Puli Township, Nantou County, Taiwan. Kaxabu is an underdocumented highly endangered Austronesian language, previously known as Pazeh (Pazih). The recordings include narratives (about history, past life experience, cultural material knowledge), folk songs and elicitations for word-lists. This collection forms part of the researcher's PhD project on language contact.
Note: For the purposes of deposit, I label the language with the language code of the closest variety (Kulon-Pazeh, ISO: uun), but this does not undermine the uniqueness of Kaxabu language, nor assume that Kaxabu is the same as Pazeh.

Description
Toksave: Culture Talks is a PARADISEC Podcast production by co-presenters and staffers Jodie Kell, a musicologist/audio engineer and Steven Gagau, research assistant/archivist. There are episodes with a series of interviews with people who have found personal and cultural connections with collections in the archive.
Music and Language are central to identity in Indigenous communities and the return of legacy research recordings can be an emotional and exciting rediscovery of the past, contributing to the continuation of cultural practices. This is where the archived records of the past have life breathed back into them once again!
The ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language is acknowledged for their support of the PARADISEC Podcast.

Description
This corpus comprises audio and video data which were collected in 2011-2013 as part of an Australian Research Council funded project (DP110100662). These recordings were provided by Tonsea speakers from the villages of Waleo and Laikit, in the Minahasa Utara (North Minahasa) district. There are two recording genres. The first reflects communicative events where speakers narrate stories related to family, cultural, or village history. Most of these were recorded by Dr. A.R Jukes (La Trobe University). The second category contains procedural narratives in which video data and corresponding audio narratives describe various culturally relevant activities, such as how to cultivate cash crops, how to make handicrafts, and how to prepare traditional cuisine. These were recorded, edited, transcribed, translated, and narrated by speech community member Mr Jemmy Rompis. Additional analysis and amendments to annotations and translation were completed by Dr. Timothy Brickell (The University of Melbourne) with the assistance of Mr Jezar Mandey.

Description
Recordings of Samoan informants on the island of Savai'i, collected in 2015 & 2016. Sociolinguistic interviews about family, education and community, wordlists, frog stories and some casual conversation based on open questions. Recorded by Hedvig Skirgård with the help of Samoan speaking assistants Melenesa Lutelu, Sega Momoemausu Esau and Saveve Ugapo Sai'o. Data collected for PhD thesis and the Wellsprings of Linguistic Diversity project.
The Wellsprings of Linguistic Diversity was a five year Laureate project awarded by the Australian Research Council to Professor Nicholas Evans within the School of Culture, History and Language in the College of Asia and the Pacific, at the Australian National University. The project ran from 2014 to 2019.
The project sought to address fundamental questions of linguistic diversity and disparity through an analysis of linguistic variation and change. The project addressed a crucial missing step in existing linguistic research by addressing the question of what drives linguistic diversification so much faster in some societies than in others. It did so by undertaking intensive, matched case studies of speech communities across Australia and the Pacific, allowing researchers to detect variations in languages as they occur and compare the amounts and types of variation found in different sorts of settings, with a particular focus on small-scale multilingual speech communities. It aimed to generate an integrated model of language variation and change, building in interactions between social and linguistic processes. The research findings offered insights into the enormous diversity of human experience, vital for fields as diverse as cognitive science, human evolutionary biology, anthropology and archaeology.

Description
The Aboriginal Child Language Project was funded by an Australian Research Council Discovery Grant. The project investigated the type of input children receive in multilingual environments that include a traditional language, a contact variety of English and code-mixing between languages and speech styles. It involved case studies of three Aboriginal communities and was designed to address the following questions:
RQ1: what kind of language input do Indigenous Australian Aboriginal children receive from traditional Indigenous languages, Kriol and varieties of English, and from code-switching involving these languages as used by adults and older children?
RQ2: what effect does this have on the children's language acquisition and how the input is reflected in their productive output?
RQ3: what are the processes of language shift, maintenance and change which may be hypothesised to result from this multilingual environment, as evidenced by the children's input and output and the degree to which this reflects transmission of the target languages, the loss of traditional languages, or the emergence of new mixed languages?
To address the complexity of these questions, this project brought together people with expertise in three different, but related, fields: Central Australian languages (Disbray, McConvell, Meakins, Moses, O'Shannessy and Simpson), first language acquisition (Wigglesworth), and historical change and language maintenance (McConvell and Simpson).

Description
This collection comprises audio and video data which were collected in 2011-2013 as part of an Australian Research Council funded project (DP110100662). Recordings were undertaken at locations in the Minahasa district: the village of Lolah Satu and the Pinaras suburb in Tomohon town. These communicative events comprise dialogues where speakers discuss family, cultural, or village history, and sing traditional work and prayer songs. Other recordings are procedural narratives in which speakers watch and narrate pre-prepared elicitation videos which show culturally relevant activities, such as how to cultivate cash crops, how to make various handicrafts, and how to prepare traditional cuisine. Most of the Tombulu recordings were collected by Dr. A.R Jukes (La Trobe University). A number were also prepared by Tombulu speech community member Mr. Hendrik Paat, who also transcribed some of the recordings and translated them into Bahasa Indonesia and/or English. Further annotation and translation, as well as preparation for archiving, was completed by Dr. Timothy Brickell (University of Melbourne) with the assistance of Mr. J.E.C. Mandey (University of Heidelberg).

A set of notebooks that represent questionnaires per language, filled in by hand, in addition to summaries that list each word and its equivalent in the range of languages covered in the set of around 180 languages. These notebooks are held by the Basel Museum and were imaged by the curator for Oceania, Beatrice Voirol, with assistance from the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamics of Language in 2021.
Many of the questionnaires include the article: "New Guinea Comparative Wordlist" (1971 Anthropos Institute). Copies of this article are not included for each item, but an example can be seen in JZ3-ROINDJI.
Note that images of blank pages, including pages with no added information, are not stored in this collection (hence the gaps in the sequence of filenames).

Description
This collection contains language data of multiple languages of the proposed West Papuan language family that are collected for the purposes of the OUTOFPAPUA project. The OUTOFPAPUA project combines urgent documentation of endangered languages in Indonesia with rigorous investigation of a linguistic puzzle that has important implications for our understanding of both Melanesian and Southeast Asian prehistory. Some two dozen Papuan languages, scattered over a 1000km on and around the Bird's Head of West Papua, show signs of sharing a common origin. The OUTOFPAPUA project aims to test the hypothesis that these languages belong to a single West Papuan language family, and to investigate the possibility that their distribution reflects a migration of Papuan people, in relatively late prehistoric times, from the New Guinea mainland outward and westward into the Indonesian archipelago.

Description
The KCP2 collection consists of audio-visually recorded and transcribed interviews on the phonetics and phonology of the Kufo language, which are conducted and collected by Shubo Li for her Honours thesis 'A Phonological Sketch of the Kufo Language' at the Australian National University. This project follows on from the 2021 Field Methods course at the Australian National University (collection KCP1 @ https://catalog.paradisec.org.au/collections/KCP1), and the data is collected with one diaspora speaker, Haroun Kafi, from November 2021 to October 2022.
Kufo (also known as Kufa or Kufa-Lima) is a variety of the Kanga language, which is spoken by approximately 8,000 people in the Nuba Mountains in Sudan, and is classified as endangered or severely endangered. Kanga is classified as part of the Kadu language family, which possibly affiliates to the disputed Nilo-Saharan phylum. The ISO code of the Kanga language is KCP.
File-naming conventions for data collection methods:
• -zoom: collected with the Zoom online meeting software

Description
From cathedrals to dreaming sites, every culture needs its monuments. But the landscape and built culture of southern New Guinea conspire to erase physical memory. In the ever-changing environment of mud, plants, and water, there are no rock formations to serve as durable traces of the past. Wooden houses decay within a decade or two. Garden clearings grow back after a few years. The savannah edge, if not maintained by regular bushfires, is soon recolonized by forest. Against this mutable environment, stability of external memory is given by the coconut trees planted anywhere a plant can grow: beaches, swiddens, old villages, house yards. Almost every coconut palm serves as a tab (sign)—a reminder of stories of garden clearings, resettlements, disputes, pledges, or intentions. For most, there are individuals with the special knowledge needed to tell their stories. These trees form an arboreal history anchored in their durability and in the clear symbolic and practical intentions that accompany each planting. In this paper, I illustrate the trees' mnemonic value, drawing on hundreds of interviews conducted by local interviewers in their own languages—Nen, Nmbo, and Idi. Responding to the flexible interactions between each interviewer and interviewee, they cover many topics, from memories of old gardens, abandoned houses, or temporary periods in other villages, through reconciliations, to girl-abducting teenagers and midlife contraceptives. In presenting this corpus of material, I marry linguistic and anthropological analyses to show how a network of communities, linked by marriage and exchange across language boundaries, uses these living monuments to maintain its histories across a broad range of spokespeople.
Results from these recordings have been written up in the following article:

Description
The Baduy, who refer to themselves as Kanekes, are an indigenous community living in the mountains of western Java. They secluded themselves in the 16th century, rejecting increasing foreign influences in order to preserve their view of traditional Sundanese society and values. This includes Sunda Wiwitan, a belief system that emphasizes veneration of ancestors and preserving harmony and balance with nature. They strive to preserve life in the manner in which they believe their forebears intended.
The Baduy Dalam number a little over a thousand people and live in three isolated villages. They adhere strictly to the restrictions of their traditional way of life and have historically had very little contact with outsiders. In recent years, the Baduy have had increasing contact with the outside world, largely through ecotourism and the growing integration of the Buduy Luar with wider contemporary Indonesian society. These rapidly evolving social and economic circumstances mean that the Baduy language and culture are currently changing more quickly than at any time in the past.
In response to the rapid transformations occurring among the Baduy, researchers from the Indonesian Education University (Universitas Pendidikan Indonesia or UPI) in Bandung teamed up with Iowa-based linguist Bill Davies to initiate a Baduy language documentation project, funded by the US National Science Foundation. Unfortunately, Bill passed away soon after the project got going, but the UPI research team continued their work in collaboration with researchers from the University of Hawaiʻi and the University of Melbourne. Some of the work from this project is presented on this website as a digital resource for the Baduy community and in order to provided information about the heritage of Baduy to the wider world.

Description
This collection was created from the PARADISEC Podcast Series “Toksave Culture Talks” under Episodes 13 & 14 and directly relates to the Collection TCT1-13 & TCT1-14 about music of the Central Province of Papua New Guinea. The podcast episodes and full interviews with Deveni Temu can be found in the TCT1 collection.
It features recordings of the PNG Peroveta Singers of Canberra made in 2023 by the PARADISEC team. This group was formed in 1999 by diaspora community members in the ACT and since then they have performed at events such as the National Folk festival, as well as meeting regularly at the Holy Cross Anglican Church in Hackett, not only to learn and sing Peroveta songs, but also share Papua New Guinean culture, language and music.
The Sene traditional Papuan song and dance and Peroveta “prophet” singing introduced by the LMS South Sea islander missionaries from Cook Islands in late 19th century. The Canberra group responds to recordings at PARADISEC archive in MG1 & IC1 collections and performances are in various languages namely Hiri Motu, Hula, Keapara (Aroma, Keakalo), Mailu from around the Port Moresby area mainly Hanuabada village in the National Capital District along the southeast Motuan coastal villages and further towards the Rigo and Abau districts of Central Province. The songs also include the southeastern Pacific of the Cook Islands Māori or Rarotongan songs.
The music recordings both from the history and culture of PNG Peroveta singing that stretches from the 1950s’ to the present day and embraced by the PNG diaspora show the enduring popularity across decades as singing styles and a genre popular and practiced by the people of Central Province, PNG.
