Publications
A key administrative responsibility of the Pacific Salmon Commission’s Secretariat is to prepare and transmit Commission reports, communications and correspondence. Equally important is the task of maintaining records of all official documents, files and publications.
To this end the Commission retains the services of a permanent, full-time Publications Manager to maintain the Commission’s records and, where appropriate, make available the various publications associated with Commission business.
The Commission also operates a full research library at its Vancouver office, where an extensive archival collection is held dating back to the early 20th century. Responsibility for the library and its conservation was transferred to the Pacific Salmon Commission on December 31, 1985 on the termination the PSC’s predecessor, the International Pacific Salmon Fisheries Commission. Documents in the library include published reports as well as historical papers, maps, and photographs which are available to researchers and other interested parties by contacting the Pacific Salmon Commission’s Publications Manager at library@psc.org.
