Annotated Bibliography of Language and Language Use in North and Central Maluku

Cakalele This bibliograhpy was compiled in 1996 as a project for the University of Hawai'i Manoa Center for Southeast Asian Studies. A printed version is available there as CSEAS Working Paper 40. . The online version was originally implemented in Perl using cgi scripting, then migrated to php in 1998. I presently do not have access to a server which permits php scripting, so I'm displaying here the entire bibliographic database (508 records), alphabetized by author. This is somewhat unfortunate, as it is no longer possible to list entries by keyword or by language. But for reference I've included the keywords in green, displayed below the annotations.

Additional information can be found in the introduction to the print version.
