The Maritime Asia Heritage Survey (MAHS) works to locate and digitally document critically endangered heritage sites, structures, objects, and manuscripts across four countries in Maritime Southern Asia: Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Maldives.
In the Maldives, the MAHS works in partnership with the National Center for Cultural Heritage to conduct fieldwork at selected sites. Our Maldives Field Survey Team employs a combination of cutting-edge technologies and traditional survey methodologies to produce records for an open-access on-line database of the diverse and distinctive cultures and histories of the region – and to securely archive that information for future generations. The MAHS is supported by the Arcadia Fund and based at the Kyoto University’s Center for Southeast Asian Studies.
The MAHS is now recruiting for a full-time Country Coordinator in the Maldives. Successful candidates will be required to travel extensively with the Team to a number of different atolls for up to ten months each year.
