When the Western Pacific High Commission was transferred from Suva to Honiara in 1952 the classified files covered by this list were transferred to the Pitcairn and Tonga Office in Suva which had been established to take over the administration of British relations with Pitcairn and Tonga from the WPHC.These records were subsequently transferred to archival custody in the former Central Archives of Fiji and the Western Pacific High Commission. When this Archives was abolished in October 1970 they were transferred to the newly established Western Pacific Archives, an agency of the Western Pacific High Commission. They are registered under the WPHC 1–100 series which is also represented in the following WPA lists: WPHC 6/I : Confidential correspondence files. WPHC 9/I : Registers and Indexes. WPHC 9/II : General correspondence files. WPHC 11/I : Secret correspondence files. WPHC 23/II : General correspondence files relating to Pitcairn and Tonga.
