It is the national body charged with recording, preserving, and promoting the diverse cultures of Vanuatu. It functions as an umbrella organisation that includes the National Museum of Vanuatu, the National Library, the National Film & Sound Unit, and other cultural‑documentation projects. The museum displays traditional artefacts such as masks, slit gongs, mats, model canoes, pottery, and archaeological finds, alongside contemporary Vanuatu art and music. "Ol Voes Bilong Vanuatu" is Bislama for "The Voices of Vanuatu" — an anthology or documentary recording of vocal and musical performance traditions from various islands and provinces of Vanuatu. The specified region is where VCC is located in Port Vila. Vanuatu's instrument traditions vary by island group and VCC/VKS field recordings can include musical types like Percussions (tam-tam slit drums, rattles, body/foot), Wind (bamboo flute - nose flute & end-blown, panpipes, conch shell trumpet), String (if stringband content present - ukulele or yukalele, acoustic guitar or gita, seka or improvised bass).
