*'''Archives''' collect and preserve '''original documents''' of organizations such as churches or governments. '''Libraries''' generally collect '''published sources''' such as books, maps, and microfilm.
*'''If you plan to visit a repository, contact them''' and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
*Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the [https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog '''FamilySearch Library'''] may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.

The Vanuatu Cultural Centre is an umbrella organization which includes:
*'''The National Museum of Vanuatu'''
*The National Film and Sound Unit
*The Vanuatu Cultural and Historical Site Survey
*'''The National Archives'''
*'''The National Library'''
*The Public Library
*The Fieldworkers's Unit
*The Tafea Cultural Centre (Lenakel, Tanna)
*The Malekula Cultural Centre
*VKS E-Press
<br>
Its aim is to record and promote the traditional indigenous cultures of Vanuatu in their various aspects - from sand drawing to music, land diving, other "customary practices" and "indigenous knowledge"-, but also the country's "contemporary arts and music".
<br>
Among its projects is the '''Oral Traditions Collection Project''', started in 1976, which has been described as "without doubt, the Pacific's most successful grassroots cultural documentation program".
<br>
The Centre produces radio programmes and videos aimed at cultural promotion, preservation or revival. As of 1996, the centre's collection contained "approximately 2500 hours of audio tape, 2300 hours of video tape, twenty-three hours of 16-millimetre film footage, thirty hours of 8-millimetre film footage, 3000 early (up to 1950s) black-and-white photographs, and around 4000 colour slides, colour negatives and black-and-white negatives". Access to some of this material is restricted, being tabu. Some material may be accessed only by men, some only by women, and some only by members of particular indigenous cultural groups.<ref>"Vanuatu Cultural Centre", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanuatu_Cultural_Centre, accessed 27 January 2023.</ref>
