Today, the National Archives of Vanuatu, in partnership with the National Records and Information Management Committee, proudly hosted National Archives Day at Eratap Primary School — marking the lead-up to International Archives Day on 9 June 2026 as part of International Archives Week (8–12 June 2026).

🏛️ Theme: – Rights, Memory and Futures

Students, teachers, and community members came together to learn why protecting and managing public records matters for transparency, accountability, citizens’ rights, and good governance here in Vanuatu.

Let’s protect our history. Let’s defend our rights. Let’s build our future. 🇻🇺

🌟 This morning, we had the honour of welcoming a high-level delegation from China to the Museum of Vanuatu!
It was a pleasure to showcase our rich cultural heritage and history to our distinguished guests.
Thank you for visiting! 🤝

"The Vanuatu Kaljoral Senta and the people of Yakel are proud to announce the official launch of the documentary film Imalum on today 30th April 2026 at the National Museum.

Filmed over two years in close collaboration with Yakel Village on Tanna, Imalum explores the deep connection between land, identity, and kastom governance.

The film brings forward real community voices, sharing stories about land ownership, stewardship, the challenges and solutions.

This powerful documentary is not just a film, but a platform for dialogue on protecting customary land and preserving the cultural heritage of Vanuatu for future generations. Everyone is invited to join us for this important and meaningful event.

We were honored to welcome Ms. Song Dandan (Vivienne), a representative of the Vanuatu Tourism Office in the China market 🇻🇺🇨🇳 Vanuatu Tourism Office

Her visit focused on gaining deeper insight into Vanuatu’s rich culture and heritage, strengthening connections between our people and the Chinese market.

During the visit, Ms. Song Dandan and Director Richard Shing had meaningful discussions on the potential to develop cultural tourism experiences tailored for children from China — creating opportunities for young visitors to explore, learn, and connect with Vanuatu’s unique traditions and heritage.

This marks an exciting step toward building future cultural exchange and tourism growth 🌺

📚🇻🇺 A Proud Moment for Vanuatu’s Cultural Heritage 🇻🇺📚

We are honored to receive a valuable academic contribution from Ms. Nasse Clairence, who has generously donated her Master’s thesis to the National Library and Archives of Vanuatu.

Her research, titled “The Role of Women in the Tanna Community (Case Study: Circumcision Ceremony and Menstruation Ceremony of Tanna Women)”, highlights the important role of women in kastom life and traditions on Tanna Island. This work is a significant contribution to preserving and understanding our cultural identity and knowledge.

The National Library and Archives of Vanuatu sincerely thanks Ms. Nasse Clairence for her meaningful donation. This thesis will serve as an important resource for students, researchers, and future generations.

Let us continue to support and celebrate local research that strengthens our heritage 📖✨
