Guide To Pacific Documents
p. 91 · Read in the full issue
The Pacific Manuscripts Bureau has begun preparing a guide to unpublished documents on the Pacific Islands in Australian libraries and archives. Aim of the guide is to provide an extensively cross-indexed key to Pacific manuscripts in Australia so that a research worker may discover in a few minutes the nature, extent and whereabouts of holdings on any subject and by any author.
The guide will include information on microfilm holdings by Australian libraries, etc., of Pacific material held in other countries.
When this guide is completed, it is hoped to start on a guide to Pacific manuscripts in New Zealand repositories, which would eventu ally be incorporated in, and published with, an updated version of the Australian guide.
And so on around the world.
