Through primary research and survey, the fellow would also be required to identify visual materials from private and institutional collections that would aid the reconstruction of the history and heritage of Singapore’s Malayalee community, some of which could be added to the Centre’s collection. The fellow would also have to survey literature/oral history recordings that might have been published/recorded in the primary language of the community (Malayalam).
