DSC was the precursor to the National Centre for Development Studies (NCDS) and the Crawford School. [Note: PI was involved in the digitisation of the Development Bulletin and Development Studies Working Papers on behalf of the Development Studies Network. These documents are now available through Digital Collections.]
This index page links to more than 300 monographs and working papers recently digitised by the Pacific Institute. This work represents a significant contribution to the process of digitising the university’s extensive and diverse corpus of Pacific research. These publications will eventually be available as open access documents via the ANU Library (Digital Collections) and ANU Press. Meanwhile, this index provides researchers immediate access to these resources.
Priority for digitisation was given to documents that were available in a clean hard-copy format to ensure the best quality result (incl. select non-Pacific material). Monograph series were produced in their entirety where possible and the scanning of incomplete Pacific publication series is a priority for future work. The imperative for this initiative – its contribution to Pacific scholarship and to genuine collaboration with (and repatriation of research to) the peoples of the region – is central to the mission of the university’s Pacific Institute (read a related note on reciprocity by Ron Crocombe and Oskar Spate from 1969).
This digitisation effort was supported by the Board of the Pacific Institute. Special thanks to: Deveni Temu (Pacific Librarian ANU), Wal Ambrose and others in ANH (for the TAs), Bryant Allen and Mike Bourke (for the NGRB collection), the late Hank Nelson, Colin Filer, Peter Sack, Vicki Luker (JPH material), Pam Thomas, Ron May, Robin Hide, the late Darrell Tryon, and Roger Casas Ruiz. Mike Cookson conducted this work on behalf of the Pacific Institute. All related inquiries should be directed to the convenors of the Pacific Institute.
