Abstract: We discuss a collaboration between community members and visiting researchers in Erakor, Vanuatu aiming to build the capacity of community-based researchers to undertake language and cultural documentation projects. We focus on the outcomes and benefits of the community-led project in Erakor after initial training, which include: a) long-term documentation of linguistic and cultural practices calibrated towards community’s needs (using the PARADISEC repository for ongoing access), and b) collections of large quantities of data of good phonetic quality, which, besides being readily available for research, have a great potential for training and testing language technologies, such as automatic speech recognition.
