An Annotated Bibliography on Recordkeeping Practices within Pacific Churches

Abstract

This bibliography focuses on recordkeeping in Pacific churches. It is organised into the following sections: current recordkeeping practices in the Pacific, archives in the Pacific, recordkeeping practices within churches in general, remittances, loan sharks and debt. It also covers news articles reporting instances of the abuse of resources in the Pacific church context. This annotated bibliography will assist with future research investigating the recordkeeping practices of Pacific churches. This is an area that needs investigating as Pacific families donate enormous amounts of money to the churches they belong to.
