Abstract
Since the arrival of the Europeans written records about the different Pacific island nations have been accumulated and are today classified as archives of the former territories, which are now independent. The bureaucracies adopted at the time of political independence still continue to produce records on a daily basis while in the process of providing government service to the nations. Common and related archival and records management problems are faced by Pacific island archivists and it is possible to set up similar training programmes for many of them. There is a need for better record management now so that archival records for the future generation will be preserved as part of the national cultural heritage. Discusses as examples training programmes and problems of records and archives management in Papua New Guinea (PNG) and the role of the Pacific Regional Branch of the International Council on Archives (PARBICA), the University of the South Pacific (USP) and the University of Papua New Guinea (UPNG).
