In the first of a planned series of articles about document authenticity, I briefly examine a significant document - the record of the landmark March 1981 meeting to restructure the Fretilin-led armed resistance to the Indonesian occupation.<br>
<br>The article, along with the full text of the Portuguese-language document in question, can be found on the Timor Archives blog at:<br><a href="http://timorarchives.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/authentic1/">http://timorarchives.wordpress.com/2012/03/05/authentic1/</a><br>
<br>I would be most grateful to receive any comments on this piece - either privately or by way of 'Comment' on the blog article.<br><br>Also, for those who missed it elsewhere, we ran an item last week on the controversial Whitlam/Hastings visit to East Timor in March 1982. The item includes links to a selection of primary source materials on the event. See:<br>
