About Us

This project was a collaborative effort by staff and students of the University of the South Pacific to document some of the historical sites of Fiji. It was created in 2018 and continues to be expanded each year. This is not a complete list and we welcome any suggestions you have for improving the content or design. It is our hope that this prototype is the beginning of a conversation with the community about our shared histories.

Students, teachers, schools, religious groups, community organisations and villages are all invited to contribute information to expand and deepen the historical information presented here. To ensure the continuity of this project we are open to establishing new partnerships with donors and community groups.
