The PNG and the Pacific collection aims to provide materials for researchers in the Asian and Pacific studies area. It is based on a collection of Papua New Guinean material that was established at Queens College Library during the 1960's by a group of students with an interest in Papuan independence.
The collection was bought by Victoria University and relocated in 1996. From 2005 the collection was expanded to include items from the Pacific and is located in the Special Collections Room, P402, at the Footscray Park Campus Library.
