Welcome to the refurbished IRAIA Archives site!

IRAIA is derived from iraya, which in many Philippine languages means people or things “from upstream”, or “highland” folk and places. We adopted it as a choice starting point from which to view the world at large. IRAIA is a recursive acronym. In its most recent incarnation, it means “Iraia River Archives Is Alive.”
