Parham 'Multigraph' pamphlets (a collection of poetry and notes written and printed by H.B. Richenda Parham and others)

  • AU PMB DOC 398
  • Colección
  • c1928 - 1950

The multigraph printing press was purchased by Charles Parham Jr. in Sydney in 1923 and manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio. The press was taken to the Parham family plantation on Vanua Levu, Fiji, where it was used over the next twenty years by Charles' sisters, Beatrice and Helena, to print a series of booklets. The majority of these works, containing poetry and notes on botany and folk medicine, were written by their mother, H.B. Richenda Parham. A few works were written by other members of the Parham family. Some booklets were sold, some given to friends and some written for fund-raising activities. The most widely distributed and successful works were Plantation Printer's Pie: a pot-pourri of facts and foods in Fiji and Some Medicinal Plants of Vanua Levu. The latter was expanded for more conventional publication by the Polynesian Society.

44 booklets. A list of titles appears at the beginning of the microfilm as well as a detailed description of each booklet and its contents. Some of the verses appear in more than one booklet. Most of the booklets are quite legible but a few, particularly those printed on blue paper, are very difficult to read in their original form but are included on the microfilm. Some of the works have been illustrated by Beatrice or Helena. A few of the works were produced by commercial printers in Hokitika, New Zealand and Suva, Fiji.

Ramale album

  • AU PMB MS 1219
  • Colección
  • 1945-2009

Pat Johnson is the daughter of Major Charles Bates, MC. Ramale, in New Britain, Papua New Guinea, was a Prisoner-of-War camp during World War II. The album covers the story of the release of Catholic priests, nuns and civilians from captivity on 14 September 1945 after internment by the Japanese. Pat’s father, Major Charles Dowson Bates, MC, was the officer-in-charge of the party that released the Ramale captives.

The Ramale album is a “scrapbook” style album created by Pat Johnson. It includes the original manuscript of a song titled “Sons of Australia” composed by Father Jos. Reischl, a Missionary of the Sacred Heart, with words by Sr Adela, when liberated from the Ramale prisoner of war camp on New Britain in 1945. The manuscript was presented by Father Jos. Reischl to Pat’s mother through Major Charles Dowson Bates in appreciation of their release. "Sons of Australia", referred to as the 'Ramale Anthem' was performed (with vocal) by the Salvation Army Melbourne Staff Band at the dedication of the Rabaul and Montevideo Maru National Memorial on 1 July 2012, at the Australian War Memorial by Her Excellency, Ms Quentin Bryce, AC CVO, Governor General of Australia.

The album includes Sr Theodeberta’s account of her war years at Vunapope/Ramale where she refers to Psalm 46 written by Fr Reischl. Psalm 46 was also presented to Major Charles Bates and is included in this collection.

There are copied extracts of Gordon Thomas’ diary who was interned in Rabaul during World War II. The album also includes extracts from books, newspaper clippings and printouts of pictures and information from the Internet (mainly the Australian War Memorial online photographic database) that relate to the Ramale Prisoner-of-war camp.

Correspondence from the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu

  • AU PMB MS 1244
  • Colección
  • 1930-1948

Mary Helen Margaret Leishman was born at Bunbury Western Australia on 17 April 1902. She died on 7 May 1995 in Launceston, Tasmania. Helen Leishman gave 22 years service to the Anglican Church's Melanesian Mission in the Solomons and New Hebrides (now Vanuatu) as both lay missionary nursing sister, then as a member of the religious sisterhood, the Community of the Cross. That Community corporately moved to the Roman Catholic church in July 1950, after which Helen Leishman spent more than 38 years in a Carmelite Monastery in Tasmania.

Helen Leishman trained as a nurse in Perth WA, completing her midwifery in Adelaide SA. While living and working in Perth she heard a clergyman preach on the work of the Anglican church's overseas missions. Some time later, on an impulse, she enquired about missionary life, was accepted on the spot, sent to Mission headquarters, Siota, Solomon Islands for training, then was assigned to a school in the New Hebrides.

Her enculturation programme was conducted by the Community of the Cross, an Anglican Sisterhood of three members established only a year previously. She subsequently joined the Community. She taught in the Community's school, was nurse, dentist, midwife and otherwise multi-skilled member of the Community, became the de facto mother of the babies taken in as orphans, taught personal and community hygiene and mothercraft to the older students at the school, trained indigenous women who joined the Community in hygiene, child care, midwifery and other elementary medical skills. Either alone, or with colleagues (mostly one or two Taina), she worked in remote locations, went periodically to distant islands to preach Christianity, teach, and attend to the sick. She was in the Solomons during World War II when the Japanese invaded, remained in seclusion in the mountains under the protection of the indigenous people until after the battle of Guadalcanal, when evacuated to the New Hebrides. After some years back in the Solomons the Sisters decided to join the Roman Catholic church, an event described by Mother Margaret Wilson, the Community Superior (see PMB 145). (From T.W. Campbell, “The Hidden Lives of Helen Leishman”, <i>Women-Church</i>, 33, Spring 2003.)

These letters cover the period 1930 to 1948. The originals, held privately, are to be placed with St Mark's Library, Canberra ACT. <b>See Finding aids for details.</b>
