Sjoerd Jaarsma recorded a number of interviews with former Dutch civil servants, missionaries and scientists who worked in West Papua during the Dutch period. He used the interviews for his thesis “waarneming en interpretatie: vergaring en gebruik van etnografische informatie in Nederlands Nieuw Guinea (1950-1962)”, ISOR, Utrecht, 1990. He worked for Pace from 2000-2012.
