The compiler was a missionary at Teop, Roviana, Solomon Islands, from 1951 to 1965. He later served as general secretary of the Methodist Church of New Zealand (Overseas Division)

The papers are in two series, called Alpha and Beta. The Alpha series contains documents written between 1927 and 1972 by European missionaries and Solomon Islanders. Those of some of the Solomon Islanders are in the Roviana language, but the compiler has made English translations. The documents in the Beta series were collected by the compiler during field work in 1975. All are by Solomon Islanders - some in English and some in Roviana, with English translations. A contents list precedes each series.
