We are pleased to announce the official launch of RWAAI, the Repository and
Workspace for Austroasiatic Intangible Heritage. Hosted by Lund University,
RWAAI is committed to the digital preservation of research collections
documenting the languages and cultures of the Austroasiatic communities of
Mainland Southeast Asia and India.

In addition, RWAAI offers contributors the ultimate back-up drive, a personal
digital workspace where data can be securely uploaded and stored, enriched,
and curated remotely. Research corpora will be interoperable, the catalogue
fully searchable, and data accessible, subject to ethical and legal concerns.

As such, we envisage RWAAI as a catalyst in promoting new research initiatives
in the digital sciences.

Furthermore, RWAAI will capitalise on new advances in communication technology
to provide language communities with access to their cultural heritage.

The corpus can also be reached directly at
