Explore our first Oceania Commons collection

About Oceania Commons
Produced in the bustling capitals of Canberra and Wellington or remote island communities, the content in Oceania Commons captures the region’s complex cultural, political, and environmental dynamics.
The mission of Oceania Commons includes discovery, dissemination, and preservation. Working in collaboration with leading libraries, archives, and community organizations, we’re digitizing fragile materials, indexing the hard-to-find, and making these resources—often underrepresented or at risk of disappearing—discoverable to scholars, educators, and students around the world. Whether you're researching climate resilience, Indigenous governance, or regional development, Oceania Commons offers primary sources you won’t find anywhere else.
The first collection on the platform, Oceania Policy, is live and ready for exploration. Dive into thousands of government reports, policy documents, and community publications that reflect the real-world challenges and innovations shaping the region—from land rights and public health policy to economic sovereignty. Register for a trial to see how Oceania Commons can support your curriculum, enrich your research, and strengthen global scholarship.
