In addition, each community website is overseen by members of the local government and educational institutions, usually drawing on the indigenous Department/Ministry of Education, Cultural Affairs/Historical Preservation Office, the local Museum, and other experts and keepers of culture. Specific staff for each community website are also engaged. See the Credits page of each community website for a complete list of all involved in its production.

Finally, this project is overseen both in parts and as a whole by our gracious sponsors.

This project is largely a community effort and welcomes input and feedback. If you have any questions about the arrangement of this site, or have suggestions on improving its user-friendliness, contact the project at webmaster@pacificworlds.com.
