Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

Having researched Māori traditional musical forms extensively in Aotearoa New Zealand, Mervyn McLean secured funding from the American National Science Foundation to conduct a survey in the Cook Islands looking for similarities or insights considering the two nations’ linguistic similarities.

This collection consists of the recordings made during the survey in the Cook Islands, predominantly at Aitutaki and Mangaia, from September to November 1967. More than 40 different song types feature, in over 400 recordings.

Song texts and further information for some items can be found in the original finding aid, published as the ‘Catalogue of McLean collection recordings of traditional music of Aitutaki and Mangaia Cook Islands, Sept-Nov 1967'.
