SUMMARY:Power and Vision: Australia and the South Pacific Commission
DESCRIPTION:Join 2025 National Library of Australia Fellow\, Dr Alexis Bergantz\, to discuss his recent Fellowship research focused on the history of the South Pacific Commission. \nIn 1947\, Australia helped establish the South Pacific Commission (SPC\, now the Pacific Community) to promote cooperation and improve the welfare of Pacific peoples. Based in Noumea\, it was the first body to bring together colonial powers and\, later\, Pacific Islander voices\, yet its history is little known in Australia. \nDr Bergantz’s research draws on the archives of diplomat William Douglass Forsyth\, a founding figure of the SPC\, to uncover the political and personal struggles involving Australia\, France\, and Indigenous leaders that shaped the organisation and contemporary vision of today’s Blue Pacific. \nEntry to this event is free but bookings are essential. The presentation will also be available online. Please make a booking and the Library will send you a direct link to the livestream event via email. Or you can join anytime through the Library’s YouTube channel.
