Archives
~ Punanga Akamou Korero
The National Archives of the Cook
Islands (NACI) was first established in 1974 and charged
with the responsibility of the collection and ensuring
the safe storage of government, cultural and oral
traditions of the nation. The Public Records Act of
1984 conferred statutory responsibilities on the NACI
and empowers the Archivist to store by contract, bequest
and the like, other materials that might be so placed
in the safe keeping of the Archives by private individuals
or groups. Since 1991, the archives has existed as
a division of the Ministry of Cultural Development
(MOCD) and administers a collection that depicts Cook
Islands life government administration and culture
from the early 1870s to the present.

materials by mechanical, electronic or photographic
means (within the law) for security, conservation
or research purposes. A schedule of fees is available

archival material unless such material is at physical
