Trip Report PMB Fieldwork in Rarotonga, Cook Islands 6 – 29 August 2010

Detail of a traditional handmade hat women wear to church, Cook Islands Christian Church, Sunday 15 August 2010

Summary The main purpose of this trip was to: - Complete the microfilming of the Don Marshall papers (PMB 1337) at the University of the South Pacific, Rarotonga; - Survey the Mangaia papers of Rod Dixon; - Continue to copy documents from the Cook Islands Administration, Resident Commissioner's Office Correspondence with Resident Agents in the Outer Islands, 1893-1974 at the Cook Islands National Archive; and - Survey, list and copy (if appropriate) the papers of Professor Ron Crocombe.

9 reels of microfilm were exposed producing the following PMB titles: PMB 1337 MARSHALL, Donald Stanley (1919-2005), Cook Islands Research Papers, 1951- 1989. Reels 7-10. (Available for reference.)

PMB 1354 COOK ISLANDS ADMINISTRATION, Resident Commissioner’s Office, Correspondence with Niue Resident Agents, 1905-1965. Reels 1-3. (Restricted Access.)

PMB 1355 COOK ISLANDS ADMINISTRATION, Resident Commissioner’s Office, Correspondence with Rakahanga Resident Agents, 1922-1970. Reels 1-3. (Restricted Access.)

It was not possible to survey Rod Dixon’s papers on Mangaia as he said that they were not yet in any kind of order for me to look at. During this trip, several other meetings and visits were made (see below) . Many of these meetings may lead to further work for the PMB in the Cook Islands (see heading Future work for PMB below). PAA Conference Mon 9 – Wed 11 August I attended the Pacific Arts Association conference in Rarotonga. I presented a paper titled “Archives and Pacific Art”. The paper was well received and I met many professionals who are involved in art galleries and museums throughout the world with a Pacific focus. I promoted the work of the PMB and handed out many flyers on PMB work and business cards. Cook Islands National Archives (CINA) Thu 12- Fri 13 and Mon 23- Thu 26 August. George Paniani, Canny Vale and Ake Willie National Archives I worked at the Cook Island National Archives copying correspondence with the Resident Agents to and from the Resident Commissioner’s Office for the islands of Niue (1905-1965) and Rakahanga (1922-1970). The papers were often out of date order and it took time to put them back into date order before I could begin the microfilming. Initially I found the papers difficult to microfilm as they were of different sizes and densities. The camera had to be high up on the main arm, 88cm, in order to capture the entire document with a border, meaning I had to stand on a box to check the positioning of the camera through the lens. The Niue papers were the first papers I microfilmed on this trip and I spent much of my time adjusting the direction of the papers and height of the camera. This microfilm will need editing. For the Rakahanga papers I chose to microfilm in landscape format and left the camera height at 88cm for the entire microfilm. I am hoping this will have worked better and the microfilm will not need as much editing. As Ewan mentioned in his 2004 report, “the correspondence includes routine reports on agricultural production, shipping, education, health, building and port construction and island Council matters together with detailed accounts of irregular events such as labour and land disputes, criminal activities, boats lost at sea, serious illness, cyclones and storms”. The papers on Niue were particularly interesting with the Resident Agent asking for cuttings of citrus, pistachio, java (coffee) as well as ladybirds, lace wings, bees, minah birds (!) and owls to destroy rats and mice – but also questioning if owls will eat the chickens! In one telegram of 2 Sep 1957 the Resident Agent says “Can you spare five thousand aspirins (to be replaced)?”. The power was out for a couple of hours one morning, however I spent this time re-organising and sorting the papers to be microfilmed. The PMB titles from the Cook Island National Archives are currently “Restricted Access”. Ewan asked me to check with Mr George Paniani, the National Archivist, if the restriction still applies or could be eased. Mr Paniani said that he had discussed this with Mr Sonny Williams, the Minister for Culture, and they want the restriction to apply because of personal names, family and land matters that appear in the papers. I assured him that the PMB and our member libraries would continue to adhere to the restriction and users of the PMB Cook Islands National Archives microfilm would contact him before accessing the PMB titles. Mr Paniani said that he is still waiting on the outcome of the Ministry of Culture re-structure. Before, the Ministry consisted of nine Divisional Heads. The new re-structure will see four managers with the National Records and Information Manager overseeing the National Library and National Archive. There will then be a supervisor for the Library and a separate supervisor for the Archives. He is expecting that the re-structure will be announced next week. The Ministry of Culture has a slightly increased budget for the next financial year and he is hopeful that the Ministry will pay the PARBICA fees that are outstanding for the Cook Islands National Archives. The Ministry also needs to back-pay staff for individual salary increases that have not yet been awarded. Mr Paniani said that he is also waiting to hear on the outcome of a large amount of UNESCO funding which the Archives has applied

2 for. This will deliver digital equipment including new computers, scanners and a laser printer for the archives. The total amount applied for is around US$30-35K. Mr Paniani said that he would like to receive PMB CINA titles in digital format in future. University of the South Pacific Mon 16 – Sat 21 August I worked at the USP Cook Islands Centre and copied the remainder of documents from the Don Marshall papers which Ewan had begun copying in 2009 held by Rod Dixon in his office. I also elaborated on some of the listings. The microfilming was routine and went smoothly, producing another four reels for this title. Ron Crocombe’s papers Tue 24 – Fri 27 August I created a listing (see Appendix 1) of Ron Crocombe’s papers at the Crocombe home. Crocombe was a Pacific Historian and lecturer. He was the founding Professor Pacific Studies, University of the South Pacific and the founding Director of the Institute of Pacific Studies, University of the South Pacific. He was awarded a PhD. from the Australian National University in 1961. From 1957 to 2009 he published extensively on a large range of topics relating to the Pacific including land policy, rural sociology, ethnohistory, regional organization, social, cultural and educational policy, politics and international relations. Much of his work was devoted to facilitating and coordinating research by Pacific Islanders. The Crocombe collection is a significant resource for scholars of Pacific studies. Scope and organisation of the collection: The Ron Crocombe collection is held in two rooms. The main study room includes: • 10 large archival boxes, • 7 plastic tubs, • 1 cardboard box covered in plastic (inaccessible in back portico storage cupboard), • 3 draw filing cabinet (all 3 draws full), • 2 draw filing cabinet (1 draw full) • 4 draw wood filing cabinet (all 4 draws full), • 1 tall round tub full of rolled up maps

The small enclosed Verandah Room off the side of the study includes: • 3 x four draw Artmetal filing cabinets • 1 x four draw europlan filing cabinet (not listed – personal) • Large rectangular metal case labelled R.G.Crocombe, U.S.P. Suva (Land tenure Fiji/New Caledonia)

Not cited Photographs (not yet cited, Marjorie is organising them) The majority of the collection is well organised and labelled with subject headings on manila folders. Ron has use of the contents indexing and numbering system

3 developed by the Institute of Pacific Studies, University of the South Pacific but has also added to this listing and developed his own system of subject headings with no numbers. Document types The documents in the collection relate to Ron Crocombe’s wide-ranging professional interest in the Pacific, including land tenure in the Cook Islands and wider Pacific regions as well as more contemporary documents on Asia and the Pacific. Subject files cover topics such as individual Pacific Islands, religion, culture, politics, health, USP, etc. (see Appendix 1 for more detail). Most of the documents are from the mid 20th to the present (2009). The older material (1950s – 1990s) includes typed and handwritten correspondence, university related documents, drafts and publications, conference papers, USP student essays (specifically on land tenure), PhD drafts and correspondence with students, journal offprints, letters to the editor and other Pacific scholars, book reviews, transcripts of radio interviews, correspondence with church leaders on religion throughout the Pacific, draft research notes, correspondence and sheets of data collected as part of the Inventory of Pacific Regional Organisations, observations and opinion pieces, lectures, seminars and keynote addresses by Crocombe, rare publications with small print runs, newsletters, pamphlets, flyers, maps and photographs. The more recent (late 1990s onwards) collection includes many printouts from the Internet, press clippings, including some full editions of newspapers, photocopies of journal articles, email correspondence, hand-written letter correspondence, unpublished theses, journal offprints and journals relating to the Pacific. I have not yet surveyed the photographs or documents of a highly personal nature (held in one four draw brown europlan filing cabinet) including personal correspondence with family members as Marjorie said that she would like to go through these first and has not had time.

Many of the documents in the large archival boxes are unsorted. When I arrived, they were in unsorted piles on top of book cases, shelves and tables in Ron Crocombe’s study. It appears that Ron had intended to sort and file them at a later date. These documents were placed in large green archival boxes to make more room in the study, and listed in a summary form (see below). Additional Meetings and Visits Cook Islands National Archives Mon 16 August I met with Mr Sonny Williams, Secretary of the Ministry for Cultural Development, to talk about the PMB work at the Cook Island National Archives. He was visiting the Cook Islands National Archives to inspect the current state of the CINA. He was thankful for the work which the PMB was undertaking at the CINA. Office of the Ombudsman Wed 18 August. I met with Ms Jeannine Daniel, Assistant Ombudsman, to hear about the Official Information Act which was passed in February 2008 and how she has implemented the PARBICA Record Keeping Toolkit and her work with Government Departments in introducing record keeping policies. Jeannine has completed training six Ministries (Police, Volunteer, Internal Affairs, Public Service, Culture, Justice, Health) to date. She has also traveled with Mr George Paniani (Cook Islands National Archives) to the outer islands to train ministries in record keeping. The training is usually run over a couple of days and includes a briefing, review of the record keeping including talking to key filing personnel and visiting storage facilities, giving verbal feedback on issues and risks and preparing a written report which details risks, issues and recommended actions. The next day a workshop is conducted which assists the ministries in policy development and practical help. Ms Daniel and Mr

4 Paniani then spend a week or so coaching and mentoring the staff as they implement the new record keeping procedures. Ms Daniel suggested that I meet with Mr Mark Short, Secretary of the Ministry of Justice because there are some important Birth Death and Marriage records that have not yet been copied. The BDM records were brought to her attention during training on the outer island of Mangaia, where she saw original BDM records in a very poor state being searched by the public. Ministry of Justice Fri 20 August I met with Ms Jeannine Daniel, Assistant Ombudsman, Ms Janet Maki, Ombudsman, Mr Mark Short, Secretary for the Ministry of Justice, Ms Marie Haupini, BDM at Ministry of Justice and Ms Grace Chynoweth, Land Title at Ministry of Justice for a meeting about possible assistance PMB could offer the Ministry of Justice with their BDM and Land court records.

Birth, Death and Marriage registers atI suggestedthe that the PMB would be interested in helping them Ministry of Justice, August 2010 preserve their records, however they would first need to conduct a survey and listing of what Ministry of Justice archives had been microfilmed by the Latter Day Saints. We could then work out which BDM records had not been microfilmed and work towards copying these records. The Land Records are extensive and probably too big a project for the PMB. I offered to send through information on a scanner which they may be able to use to digitize the documents. I visited the Ministry of Justice record rooms which are upstairs in the Ministry of Justice building. There are many land records for the outer islands that are held in another building that is on ground level. A container on blocks also has Ministry of Justice records and is under the Ministry of Justice building in the car park. Mr Mark Short is supportive of the project because Improving Ministry of Justice Record Keeping is one of the Ministry’s goals for the next year. He will be in touch with the PMB when they have conducted a survey of the BDM records that need to be microfilmed. National Library and Museum Tue 17 August I met with Ms Jean Mason, Director, Cook Islands Library and Museum (CILM), who explained that she has been working on stabilizing the building and is now moving towards conservation of the collection. She had just wrapped and taken several rare books including Banks’ diary to a local industrial freezer as they are “bug” and “bora” infested. I gave Ms Mason a copy of PMB (CILM) titles in PDF format. Ms Mason said that they have a microfilm reader which was donated by the Latter Day Saints, but it is also still in its box as they don’t have any microfilm to use. I am not sure where copies of PMB microfilm are which have been donated to the CILM in the past. Cook Islands Christian Church Tue 24 August Ms Jeannine Daniel from the Office of the Ombudsman introduced me to Mr Tangimetua Tangatatutai, President of the Cook Islands Christian Church and Mr Nga Mataio, General Secretary, Cook Islands Christian Church, at Takamoa Theological College, Avarua. The Mission house renovations are now complete and the house and college is beautiful. Mr Tangatatutai showed me the CICC archives which include church land deeds, birth, baptism, notice of intention to marriage, marriage and burial registers and a book containing the names of all students who have attended Takamoa Theological College from 1823 until the present. Most of the documents relate to the island of Rarotonga. Mr Tangatatutai has begun visiting the outer island Cook Island Christian Churches and

5 is encouraging them to forward their archives to Rarotonga for preservation and conservation. A detailed listing of the archives I surveyed at the CICC is attached (Appendix 2). Mr Tangimetua Tangatatutai said that the Cook Islands Christian Church is interested in finding historical LMS documents which relate to the Cook Island Missionaries. He said some of the birth records are held in France, especially those from Mangaia. The CICC has begun preparations for a major celebration in 2021 of 200 years in the Cook Islands. This will be a major celebration and a historical committee has been formed to collect and research the growth of the Cook Islands Christian Church. Mr Nga Mataio gave me an updated electronic copy of the Cook Islands Christian Church newsletter (no.1 Sep 2005 – no.32 Aug 2010)for the PMB.

Mr Tangimetua Tangatatutai showing me theOther Cook Islands Christian Church archives,The Cook August Islands 2010 News wrote an article about the PMB work I undertaking in Rarotonga on Friday 27 August (see Appendix 3). Issues and problems The main problems I had with the PMB work in the Cook Islands was using the microfilm camera. The camera is very heavy (16 kg) to transport. I had to pay excess baggage charges because Pacific Blue only allows for 23 kg of luggage. I was often anxious as to whether or not the shots were working as I was not able to check the exposures. Because many of the documents were foolscap in size I needed to have the arm of the camera extremely high and the strength needed to tighten and fasten the bolts is great. However, I have since found out that the microfilms I took worked well. I would prefer to work with digital capturing equipment that is lighter to carrier and easier to monitor as the work is being done. A small notebook computer would also be a good investment as they are much easier and lighter to carry around than a personal laptop. Future work for PMB in Cook Islands Ron Crocombe Papers The Crocombe papers are extensive. I recommend that we are selective in what we digitize. Crocombe published a great deal of his work, so I would suggest that we compare the list I made with his published catalogue and rule out any items which were published as well as printouts from the Internet. Cook Islands Christian Church There is about 1-2 days work at the Cook Islands Christian Church (see Appendix 2 for detail). Cook Islands National Archives There are still a number of boxes of correspondence with the Resident Agents to and from the Resident Commissioner’s Office for the islands that need to be microfilmed. See listing below: Pukapuka (Box 23/1) – 5 boxes Suvarrow (Box 25/1) – 2 boxes Palmerston (Box 26/1) - ? boxes Takutea (Box 27/1) and Mitiaro (Box 28/1) – 1 box (boxed together) Rod Dixon and USP Rod Dixon is working towards locating the personal papers of prominent Cook Islanders including:
