Library
The Library at the Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat holds de-classified records (1971-2010) and proceedings, statements, images and historical speeches from Leaders, Ministerial and Officials meetings.
These Records and other library materials is accessible to the public via the Library Catalogue and is a rich source of regional information.
A Brief History
The current location of the Information Management Office was the original meeting centre of what was then known as the SPEC (South Pacific Bureau for Economic Corporation). The building itself was built in 1976 for that purpose and was later converted into the Library after the new Ryoichi Jinnai Conference Centre was opened in 1994.
The building structure was extended with mezzanine floor which was put in place to house the registry & archive.
The two sections, Library and Registry were merged in early 2004.

The Information Management office holds approximately 40, 000 volumes. It includes Books (Reference & General), Serials, Newspapers, Forum Documents, Maps, CD ROM, Videos, and Photographs.
