MELANESIAN STUDIES
A Guide to Resources on Melanesia
Melanesian Studies Resource Center
and
Melanesian Archive
University of California, San Diego
This site is intended to provide an overview of library materials, both
published and unpublished, pertinent to the study of Melanesia. The main
focus of this site is materials held in the libraries of the University
of California, San Diego, although links to collections at other institutions
will also be included. UCSD's collection strengths for this area include
anthropology, European voyages of exploration and research, archaeology,
linguistics, and history. A special emphasis is placed on collecting primary
source materials: anthropologists' fieldnotes, government patrol reports,
microfilms of mission records, firsthand accounts of travelers, and newspapers
from the region, etc. The collection also includes many dissertations and
theses.
This site is presently under construction, so please bear with us,
as we bring up the projected links!
