CREDO is based in Marseille and operates under the joint supervision of three major French institutions: the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS), and Aix-Marseille Université (AMU). The center's research spans social and cultural anthropology, history and archaeology, ethnomusicology, and ethnolinguistics, with a geographic focus on Oceania and the Pacific region. The publishing activities of pacific-credo Publications serve to disseminate the scholarly output of CREDO researchers and their collaborators. The imprint produces academic works, including monographs, edited volumes, and research papers, that contribute to the understanding of Pacific societies. These publications are aimed at an academic audience, including anthropologists, historians, archaeologists, and other scholars interested in the region. As part of a public research institution, pacific-credo Publications operates on a non-commercial basis, with the primary goal of advancing knowledge rather than generating profit. The publications are often available in print and, increasingly, in digital formats, reflecting the center's commitment to open access and the wide dissemination of research. The website pacific-credo.fr serves as the central hub for information about CREDO's activities, including its publications, events, and seminars. CREDO's members teach and supervise students at Aix-Marseille Université and EHESS in Marseille, integrating research and education. The center hosts regular events, seminars, and external interventions, such as presentations at museums and conferences, furthering its mission to promote research on Pacific societies. Through its publications, pacific-credo Publications plays a vital role in making this research accessible to a global scholarly community.

The history of pacific-credo Publications is closely tied to that of the Centre de Recherche et de Documentation sur l'Océanie (CREDO), a research center based in Marseille, France. CREDO was established as a multidisciplinary unit dedicated to the study of South Pacific societies, bringing together researchers from the CNRS, EHESS, and Aix-Marseille Université. The center's research areas include social and cultural anthropology, history and archaeology, ethnomusicology, and ethnolinguistics. As part of its mission to produce and disseminate knowledge, CREDO developed a publishing arm, pacific-credo Publications, to publish scholarly works resulting from its research programs. The imprint has released numerous academic titles, often in French and English, covering topics such as indigenous cultures, colonial history, archaeology, and linguistics of the Pacific region. These publications are typically peer-reviewed and aimed at an academic readership. Over the years, pacific-credo Publications has adapted to changes in academic publishing, including the move toward digital formats and open access. The center's website, pacific-credo.fr, provides information about its publications, events, and seminars. CREDO continues to be an active research center, hosting regular seminars and external interventions, such as presentations by its members at museums and conferences. The publishing activities remain an integral part of its scholarly mission.
