About Commonwealth publications
The Commonwealth Secretariat publishes authoritative, evidence-based research and knowledge products for policymakers, academics, professionals and wider publics across the world. Our publications cover all aspects of the Commonwealth’s areas of work, focus and expertise, including small and developing states; environment and climate change; democracy, law and government; and social issues concerning young people, gender, health and education.
The vast majority of our publications are fully open-access, and this page hosts our searchable publishing archive covering 1969 to the present. (The standalone Commonwealth iLibrary, which hosts Commonwealth Secretariat publications from 1969–2023, is in the process of being decommissioned as of June 2026.)
Printed copies of selected major Commonwealth Secretariat titles are also available to purchase from our distributor, Mare Nostrum Group – see below for full details.
You can also consult our library and archive catalogue to find books and historical documents by and about the Commonwealth.
