Like most museums around the world, the Fiji Museum is moving towards digitization of its records.

This is envisaged to allow for ease of access and also provide a backup for its current archival collections.

The Fiji Museum 2016 annual report also noted that the institution still held analogue materials in its archival collection.

It stated these were in the form of VHS cassette tapes, audio cassette tapes, hard copy of photographs, old manuscripts, reels, and slide glasses.

The report stated that the major initiatives included the digitization of 297 museum photographs and archaeological reports from the 1980s to the new millennium continued.
