PACIFIC
MANUSCRIPTS BUREAU
The Pacific Manuscripts Bureau (Pambu)
is a consortium of academic and national libraries that sponsors
the microfilming of archival resources throughout the Islands
of the Pacific. They produce approximately 100 reels of microfilm
per year, and have an archive of ca. 3,300 reels. Current member
libraries are the Australian National University Library, the
Mitchell Library (State Library of New South Wales), the National
Library of Australia, the Alexander Trumbull Library (National
Library of New Zealand), the University of Auckland Library,
the University of Hawaii Library, the University of California-San
Diego Library, the University of Michigan Library, and Yale University
Library. Yale participates in this project because a sizable
portion of the film they produce documents Christianity in the
Pacific. Once every two years Paul Stuehrenberg, Divinity Librarian,
attends a management committee meeting, usually held in conjunction
with the biennial meetings of the Pacific History Association:
Canberra, Australia (2000), Apia, Samoa (2002), Nouméa,
New Caledonia (2004), Dunedin, New Zealand (2006).
