As Fiji Day is this Friday, the National Archives of Fiji is holding a special exhibition showcasing rare records, photographs, and documents that show the journey of our nation.
Minister for Information Lynda Tabuya says the collection of historical records by National Archives of Fiji is a living testimony of our nation’s journey.
Tabuya says access to our documentary heritage allows people to clearly understand how Fiji has evolved over the past 55 years politically, socially, and culturally.
She says these records remind us of how far we have come as people, and how the values of unity, resilience, and peace have guided our progress.
The Minister says through this exhibition, the National Archives aims to inspire Fijians to explore the records of their country, to build a deeper sense of shared responsibility, and to expand our national knowledge base through archival research and learning.
She says by making these records available to students, researchers, civil servants, and the general public, the Archives supports the needs of every individual, providing accurate and authentic information that strengthens both transparency and trust in government.
Tabuya says it is our duty as a nation to ensure that this institution is well-equipped, well-resourced, and well-protected, so it can continue to fulfill its sacred mission to preserve our national memory and identity.
The five-day exhibition, which showcases treasured documents such as the constitutional discussions and the Agreement to the Deed of Cession, is being held at the Government Resource Centre and will move to Albert Park on Friday in Suva.
