Collated List of PMB Manuscripts Series
Pacific Islands Mission and Church Archives

 The Pacific Manuscripts Bureau (PMB) is a non-profit organisation established in 1968 to identify and make preservation microfilm copies of archives, manuscripts and rare printed documents relating to the South Pacific Islands. One of very few long-term archival projects in the world based on international cooperation, the Bureau is funded by a consortium of eight major Pacific research libraries in Australia, New Zealand and the United States. To date it has produced over 3000 reels of 35mm microfilm, together with associated bibliographic documentation and indexes. Sets of the microfilms are lodged in each of the Bureau’s member libraries and copies of most of them are available for purchase.

 The Bureau’s microfilms are of value to researchers in all branches of Pacific Studies. They include archives of churches and missions, business and labour, governments and judiciaries political parties and non-government organisations, together with personal papers, ships’ logs, linguistic material, genealogies and vernacular materials. The Bureau is keen to film at-risk contemporary and indigenous material documenting the cultural and political aspirations of the independent island states, particularly material relating to recent economic and political issues affecting the islands, such as the Fiji coups and the Bougainville crisis.

 The Bureau gives priority to vulnerable and/or elusive material held in the Pacific Islands. While the Bureau has achieved a great deal in 30 years, the need for an ongoing project of this kind has not diminished. More documentary material than ever is being produced in the Islands, much of it is both historically significant and vulnerable. Climactic conditions, coupled with the region’s relatively weak archival infrastructure mean that documents which exist today may not exist in five or ten years time. The Bureau has in place a program for surveying and filming much of this material over the next decade. This includes regular and extensive field work, the aim of which is to produce at least 100 reels of microfilm per year.

 This list draws together, by island nation or group,  archives and manuscripts of, or relating to, Pacific islands missions and churches in the PMB’s Manuscripts Series of microfilms. The list does not include published material produced by missions and churches microfilmed in the PMB’s Printed Document Series.  Nor does the list include the microfilms of the Oceania Marist Province archives (OMPA) which Fr Theo Cook made in the 1980s, as follows:

OMPA 1-25: Diocese of Tonga.

OMPA 26-74: Diocese of Samoa and Tokelau.

OMPA 80-100: Marist Fathers, Rome

OMPA 101-126: Diocese of Wallis and Futuna

OMPA 127-178: Diocese of Port Vila

OMPA 179-360: Archdiocese of Noumea

OMPA 361-400: Oceania Marist Province Archives, Suva

An inventory of the OMPA microfilms is available in  Robert Langdon (Ed.), The Catholic Church in the Western Pacific: A Guide to Records on Microfilm, Canberra, PMB, 1986.

 
Short title entries only are given for the following PMB Manuscripts Series microfilms of mission and church archives. Detailed information sheets on each entry are available in the PMB’s Complete Annotated Catalogue and from the on-line catalogue on the PMB web site at http://rspas.anu.edu.au/pambu/.
