Not requestable
Scope and Contents
Series II. Austral Islands Primary Sources contains original manuscripts and photocopies of manuscripts, most of which are in Maori; the location of the originals is unknown. This series has been divided into three series; however, it should once again be noted that this arrangement was done by someone unfamiliar with the languages and history of the Austral Islands, and as such, is subject to error. Any and all corrections to arrangement and translation are welcome.
Subseries A. Histories contains written histories about Rurutu that Brunor collected. Subseries B. Land Books and Genealogies contains Parau Tupuna and Parau Papa, books describing family histories, genealogies, and land histories of the Islands. This series also contains copies of maps created by Éric de Bisschop, which were integral to drawing the modern land boundaries of the Islands.
Subseries C. Other contains non-English material that was not able to be identified by the processor.
