Australia and its immediate neighbours are home to a third of the world's languages, most of which could disappear without trace. A national archive project is capturing what it can, and making the resource available online to researchers and regional cultural centres.
The Pacific and Regional Archive for Digital Sources in Endangered Cultures (PARADISEC) project has been recognised with the Victorian eResearch Strategic Initiative (VeRSI) Award in humanities and social sciences. The project team will receive a server worth over $26,000 thanks to the prize's sponsor, Dell.

The humanities are really utilising the technology available today. All of this research is important and I take my hat off to all those fieldworkers out there gathering more cultural knowledge.
