Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Pacific Islands Museums Association (PIMA) is, as its name suggests, an association of museums located in the region of the Pacific islands. Its stated aims include facilitating the "safeguarding and preservation of Oceania's heritage and heritage places"; "disseminat[ing] cultural heritage information" among Pacific Islanders; and advising governments on policies to manage cultural heritage. Founded in 1994, the association was initially based in Noumea, hosted and supported by the Secretariat of the Pacific Community. Incorporated as a non-profit organisation in May 1999, PIMA established itself on the site of the Fiji Museum in Suva. In 2006, PIMA relocated to the site of the Vanuatu Cultural Centre in Port Vila. It is now expected to rotate between museums in the region "every few years".
