Collections

A guide to public and private archival collections on Timor – largely Australian ones in the first instance – with links to detailed content data created in ongoing CHART project work.

Below is a preliminary list only (June 2009).

Please tell me about others you know.

Australian private archival collections

I am aware of the following collections still in private hands in Australia. Some of these have been examined and documented; others are the subject of ongoing discussion. They are generally not yet available for research purposes.

      Google translation:
      Movies and report produced by Jose Ramos Horta (now president) during the 1972/1974 season when he was a functionary of the Centre for Tourism Information of East Timor.

      Thank you Bernardino. Do these materials survive somewhere? Not in Timor, I think. In Portugal?
