In 2014 the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau began creating digitised copies of Pacific collections, rather than microfilm, which are catalogued at ATL-Group-00169.
The Pacific Manuscripts Bureau was established in April 1968 `to promote the preservation of unpublished documents of value relating to the Pacific Islands'. A non-profit making organisation, it is sponsored by four libraries specialising in Pacific research: the Mitchell Library, Sydney; the National Library of Australia, Canberra; the Library of the University of Hawaii, Honolulu and the National Library of New Zealand, represented by the Alexander Turnbull Library.
Quantity: 2941 microfilm reel(s). 35 compact disc(s). 1 Linear Metres.
Physical Description: Mss (microfilm)
Finding Aids: Most of the collections have been catalogued separately. The extensive inventory comprises: short titles in PMB number order; an index of main entries and subjects and the main inventory comprising one descriptive sheet for each collection in PMB number order.
Published guides include: `American whalers and traders in the Pacific: a guide to records on microfilm' (Canberra: ANU, 1978) providing indexes of ships; captains/logkeepers; places visited; items located but not filmed; obsolete names to modern equivalents and vise versa and `Where the whalers went: an index to Pacific ports and islands visited by American whalers ... in the nineteenth century (Canberra: ANU, 1984) both edited by Robert Langdon.
