In this study, we attempt to describe a brief history of meteorological observation and data in French Indochina based on materials found in libraries belonging to the national hydro-meteorological services of Japan, Vietnam, and France, and on the websites of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, USA and the National Library of France. In our search, we found very important publications relating to historical meteorological information in French Indochina for the period from the 1860’s to 1954. Before the establishment of the meteorological service of French Indochina, medical officers in the French Navy conducted meteorological observations. After the establishment of the meteorological service, its observation activities were strongly affected by French Indochina government policies. An image collection of historical meteorological information in French Indochina could potentially contribute to historical meteorological data recovery.
