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.
Many remain unidentified. Please contact me if you know of others.

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

Yes, in Portugal.
