Self-description:
"PARADISEC (Pacific And Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures) offers a facility for digital
conservation and access for endangered materials from the Pacific region, defined broadly to include Oceania and East and
Southeast Asia. Our research group has developed models to ensure that the archive can provide access to interested
communities, and conforms with emerging international standards for digital archiving. Our research group is
composed of investigators from the four participating institutions
PARADISEC collaborates with other groups to promote good practice in field documentation and digital archiving of
endangered languages:
Resource Network for Linguistic Diversity (RNLD)

the Open Language Archives Community (OLAC) [http://www.language-
archives.org],
the Digital Endangered Languages and Musics Network (DELAMAN)
[http://www.delaman.org/] and the
Electronic Metastructure for Endangered Languages Data project
