Pacific Islands Monthly, commonly referred to as "PIM", was a magazine founded in 1930 in Sydney by New Zealand born journalist R.W. Robson.

Background

Pacific Islands Monthly was started in Sydney in 1930. 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]

Pacific Islands Monthly (1931–2000) has been digitised, and is now freely available online through Trove.[7]
