Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Note:- All these papers with the exception of the last stray item were sent to the Western Pacific Archives, Suva, about May, 1973. They had previously been brought to Suva in 1962 or thereabouts by Ian Diamond, Archivist of the former Central Archives of Fiji and the Western Pacific High Commission. They were microfilmed while in Suva (WPA Call Number 15). They were returned to Vila in 1964. (See WPA file CF 16). As they have been removed from the series they were registered in they are listed as papers relating to the Jonfrum Cult. File no. 12/27/5 is from the 1943–1953 registry series. (See NHBS 3).
