The National Archives of the Cook Islands (NACI) was created in 1974 in the Cook Islands for ensuring the safe storage of government, cultural and oral traditions of the nation.[1] Originally housed in the Takitumu Hostel at Takamoa, the archives moved to the National Library of the Cook Islands building, and then in 1987 to the Takuvaine Valley Seismological Observatory.[2]

The archives were badly damaged by Cyclone Sally in early 1987.[3]

It has a collection of over 4,000 images of the islands in the 1950s from the Donald Stanley Marshall collection.[4]
