This archive constitutes a collection of multimedia materials, text documents and related other files from 25 language varieties spoken in Eastern Indonesia and East Timor: 11 varieties from the Alor archipelago, 9 varieties from the Flores and Solor archipelago, 1 from Maluku, and 4 from Timor. The research was supported by the VICI research project ‘Reconstructing the past through languages of the present: the Lesser Sunda Islands’, awarded to Marian Klamer and funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), project number 277-70-012. This project was based at Leiden University from 2014-2019. More information about the project can be found at http://vici.marianklamer.org.
