  • Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
  • If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
  • Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the FamilySearch Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.

CHART: Clearing House for Archival Records on Timor (CHART) Inc.

Clearing House for Archival Records on Timor (CHART) Inc. is an Australian organisation created to ensure long-term preservation and access to documentary records on East Timor history for the period 1974-1999. Our principal work includes:
  • Locating archival materials about East Timor in public and private hands
  • Encouraging and assisting private collection owners to preserve their materials for long-term access
  • Digitizing materials for easy access in Australia, Timor-Leste and elsewhere.
