The PALM site contains a digital archive of approximately 800 booklets that were produced by the Pacific Area Language Materials (PALM) project. The original booklets were prepared several years ago in order to record Pacific regional languages and to serve as teaching tools; one known printed copy of these materials is housed in the Pacific Collection at the University of Hawaii's Hamilton Library. This digital PALM archive makes the original booklets available once again in the Pacific Islands. Included with the archive is “Putting the Mother Tongue Back into the Classroom: ESL and Bilingual Education in Micronesia,” an article by Robert E. Gibson, the PALM Project Coordinator for the original booklets.
