Cultural Sensitivity Advisory Notice

First Nations people are advised that this collection may contain names, recordings and images of deceased people and other content that may be culturally sensitive.

This collection may include material that contains terms that reflect authors' views or those of the historical period, but which may not be considered appropriate today. While the information may not reflect current understanding, it is provided in an historical context.

Scope and Contents

This collection is a reproduction of all items listed in the Catalogue of South Pacific Commission publications, 1980-1985, except for those marked in the catalogue with an asterisk.

The catalogue lists in alphabetical order by main entry all South Pacific Commission documents entered into the South Pacific Commission library data base from January 1980 to September 1985.

The catalogue includes all the published documents sent automatically to deposit libraries, plus papers presented at South Pacific Commission meetings, analytics of articles in South Pacific Commission serials, and articles by South Pacific staff published elsewhere. It also includes additional author, subject and country indexes, which may aid navigating this collection.

Many of the items in the collection are written in both English and French. There are some items which are written only in French, as well as some material, including dictionaries, written in Austronesian languages such as Bislama, Kuanua, Lenakel, Misima-Panaeati, Mukawa, Nauru, North Ambrym and more.

Arrangement

This finding aid has been arranged to correspond with the alphabetical order in the accompanying published catalogue, Catalogue of South Pacific Commission publications, 1980-1985. The alphabetical order in the catalogue is determined by each item's main entry. For items published by an individual, the author's surname is the main entry. For items published by an organisation, the item's title is the main entry.

In the published catalogue, each item is given a number. In each series' scope and contents note, the item numbers for the material listed in the catalogue within the corresponding letter have been recorded. Not all items listed in the published catalogue were captured on the microfilm, so some items are not digitised. The dates for each Series refer to the publication dates of the included items, rather than the dates of the catalogue creation.
