Background

Pacific Islands Monthly was started in Sydney in 1930. [1] The first issue ran in August 1930. [1] It consisted of 12 pages and was in the format of a newspaper. The following year it was presented in magazine format. [2] Its founder Robert William Robson, who was originally from New Zealand, moved to Sydney, Australia during World War I. [3] The journalists for the magazine were said to be some of the Pacific's most respected. [4]

During the 1940s the magazine included advertisements for W. R. Carpenter & Co. [5]

The magazine ran for approximately 70 years with the first issue on 16 August 1930 and the last issue on 1 June 2000. [6]
