e-Publications
Making rare documents accessible
Browse our collection of digitized documents at your leisure—outside the library’s regular hours!
Since its beginning, Guampedia has made available e-publications and digitized documents previously accessible only by an actual visit to the University of Guam or the Agana Library.
Guampedia is not only Guam’s online encyclopedia, but it’s also a digital repository of some rare resources about our island, or materials that have limited accessibility to the general public. Guampedia also provides digitization services for certain workshops and conferences related to Guam or Pacific history and makes those summaries or proceedings available on our website. All publications are viewable using a digital publishing platform known as ISSUU and can be opened right on your computer or e-reader.
CAHA Workshops
With hosting the Festival of the Pacific Arts in 2016, the Guam Council on the Arts and Humanities Agency (CAHA) provided workshops for artists and other cultural producers who wanted to participate in the event. The workshops were meant to help FestPac delegates and participants to stay up-to-date with the festival coordinating committee’s plans; to learn the important connections between art and history in the creative process, and to be inspired to create new and interesting works to share in the region’s most significant celebration of indigenous Pacific Island cultural arts.

Dr. Anne Perez Hattori e-Publications
Guampedia is proud to feature previously published essays on Guam culture and history topics by Dr. Anne Perez Hattori. Guampedia aims to serve our readers as a digital repository and archive, and we hope that these e-publications from Dr. Hattori will reach local scholars, students, and community members seeking to gain more in-depth knowledge on the islands and people of the Marianas.

Marianas History Conference (MHC)
One Archipelago, Many Stories
In 2011 a group of like minded people from the Mariana Islands decided it was high time to have a Marianas History Conference, one that focused specifically on the history and experiences of the people of all the Mariana Islands. The initial group of organizers, led by Scott Russell of the Northern Marianas and Rosanna Barcinas of Guam, met in August and came up with the theme, “One Archipelago, Many Stories,” which highlighted the deep and rich history of the Mariana Islands as well as bridged the political division of the archipelago–a division that exists today.
