Inspector general’s reports and board minutes

  • AU PMB MS 1284
  • Collection
  • 1946-1970

The South Pacific Health Service was formed by an Agreement between the Government of New Zealand, the Government of Fiji and the Western Pacific High Commission on 7 September 1946. At the request of the Government of Tonga the Service was extended to include that country on 1 January 1947. The Agreement was renewed on 11 June 1951, and again renewed on 18 August 1964. It expired in December 1969 and was not renewed after Fiji gained independence.
The Agreement established a Board, the South Pacific Board of Health, to conduct the South Pacific Health Service and stated that it consisted, among others, of an Inspector-General who was the Chairman. This position was always occupied by the Director of the Medical Services of Fiji.
The chief objects of the Service were to advise territories on health matters, collate epidemiological information, monitor quarantine arrangements in the region, and to assist with local training of medical, dental and nursing staff in the Central Medical School, Suva. An inter-territorial Health Service emerged to which expatriate Medical Officers were appointed and within which they were moved around as determined by the Inspector-General. However as the Pacific territories approached independence this concept became redundant.

Bound sets of printed records transferred by the Western Pacific Archives to the Tuvalu National Archives, consisting of minutes of meetings of the South Pacific Board of Health held, June 1949-July 1970, including some joint meetings with the Medical School Advisory Board, Suva, and appendices consisting of papers covering a broad range of Pacific health matters; together with South Pacific Health Service, Inspector-General’s Reports, 1946-1967, which include reports on staffing establishment, the Central Medical and Nursing Schools in Suva, the Makogal Leprosy Hospital, nutrition and health education, epidemiology, research and surveys, international agencies, as well as a range of occasional papers.

Reported observations of volcanic activity in Papua New Guinea before 1944: published and unpublished documents, C1-C837.

  • AU PMB MS 1291
  • Collection
  • 1616-1988

This record group began as a collection of extracts from books, journals and letters by the late R.J.S. Cooke, Senior Volcanologist at the Rabaul Observatory 1971 to 1979. After Cook’s untimely death on Karkar volcano in 1979, R.W. Johnson reorganised Cook’s collection and compiled a bibliographic card index. Subsequently Johnson combined with W.D. Palfreyman and R.J. Bultitude to produce a bibliography of 740 items which was published on microfiche by the Bureau of Mineral Resources in 1986. After publication of the bibliography, an additional 97 items were added to the collection. This microfilm combines copies of the complete set of observations of volcanic activity in PNG prior to 1944 with the bibliographic references.

Gilbertese catechists trained in Tahiti and established Catholicism on Nonouti in the early 1880s. In 1886 the Gilbert Islands were allocated to the Missionaries of the Sacred Heart (MSC) Vicariate of Melanesia and Micronesia, which also covered Papua and New Britain. The first MSCs (Fr Bontemps, Fr Joseph Leray and Br Conrad Weber) arrived in Nonouti in 1888, and succeeded in establishing the Catholic mission in a number of the Gilbert Islands in some cases against Protestant opposition. In 1897 a Vicariate Apostolic of the Gilbert Islands was established, comprised of the Gilberts, the Ellice Islands, Nauru and Ocean Island. In 1903 the Catholic headquarters moved from Nonouti to Butaritari.
The Vicars Apostolic were:
1890-1897 - Mgr. Couppé MSC, (Vicar Apostolic of New Britain)
1898-1927 - Mgr Joseph Leray, MSC
1927-1933 - Mgr. Joseph Bach, MSC
1938-1961 - Mgr Octave Terrienne, MSC
1961-1966 - Mgr Pierre Guichet MSC
1966 Diocese of Tarawa and Nauru was established.
1966-1979 - Mgr Guichet continued as Bishop of the Diocese
1979-to the present - Bishop Paul Mea MSC

The records are held in the Bishop’s House, Teaoraereke, Tarawa (2007). The papers were identified by Sister Margaret Sullivan FNDSC and the Bishop's assistant, Beitaake. They are arranged under the following categories, roughly following the system which Fr Amerigo Cools used for his arrangement and description of the archives of the Archdiocese of Papeete and the Dioceses of Rarotonga and Taihoe (Marquesas).

The Rabaul Volcanological Observatory Observatory is responsible for monitoring the activity of the 14 active and 23 dormant volcanoes spread along three volcanic arcs throughout Papua New Guinea and which have produced more than 140 eruptions in the last 200 years. Monitoring is carried out at RVO, 6 "outstation" observatories (Manam, Karkar, Langila, Ulawun, Esa'ala, and Lamington volcanoes) and an unmanned telemetered station (Lamington).
In addition to volcano monitoring, the functions of the Rabaul Volcano Observatory include: geologic reconnaissance and tephrastratigraphic studies (e.g. at Rabaul, Loloru, Hargy and Witori), volcanic hazard assessments (e.g. Rabaul, Manam, Karkar, Langila, Ulawun, Balbi, Bagana, Loloru, Lamington, Victory), assistance in the preparation and revision of volcano emergency plans (e.g. Rabaul, Manam, Ulawun), and applied research on the pattern of activity of the monitored volcanoes with a view to the detection of eruption precursors and provision of warnings.
