Correspondence and documentation on the political statutes of Wallis and Futuna.

Ekonia Tekoro was born in the Duke of York Islands, New Britain, in 1916 or 1917. He was serving as a Methodist pastor on Bougainville when the Japanese invaded the island. Not being a native Bougainvillean, he was a marked man. However, he eventually linked up with the Coastwatchers and reached the safety of the beachhead at Torokina.

The autobiography comprises 29 handwritten pages and covers the period 1916 to 1979.

The Nemea Association was formed in 1970 by people of several villages inland from Cloudy Bay, about 200km east of Port Moresby. Its aim was to gain the return of land which the colonial administration had alienated from the late 19th century on. The association's activities also produced a movement seeking local autonomy. The papers were gathered together and, in some cases, indexed by Mr David R. Milbourne Marsh, OBE, one-time district commissioner in Papua New Guinea.

The Vigilant was a barque of 405 tons. Mr R.J. Swain is a great-great-grandson of the logkeeper.

The Vigilant left London in October 1831, rounded the Cape of Good Hope and headed for Indonesia. Calls were made at Timor (March-Juen 1832) and Ternate (July-August). The Vigilant then sailed north of New Guinea, whaled in New Ireland waters (September-December) and continued to the Bay of Islands, New Zealand (21 February - 23 March 1833). Subsequent calls were made at Tongatapu, Tonga (29 June - 5 July), Tutuila, Samoa (10-12 July), Bay of Islands (14-30 October; 30 January - 4 February 1834), Norfolk Island (20-21 February), Bay of Islands (31 March - 30 April), 'Eua, Tonga (30-31 May), Vava'u, Tonga (15-22 June), Manu'a, Samoa (25-27 June, 7-11 September), Savai'i, Samoa (2-4 September), Sydney (19 October - 24 November), Bay of Islands (28 February - 18 March 1835). The ship returned to England via Cape Horn on 2 August 1835. Following the log are drafts of letters written in 1841 to Robert Duke and others about money matters and another command for Swain.
