A study of Chimbu conjugal relationships, 1972, together with research papers on nutrition and marriage in Papua New Guinea.

  • AU PMB MS 1251
  • Collectie
  • 1965-1972

In the 1960s Joan Dirkone Johnstone (as Josephine Whiteman) worked as a nutritionist with Susan Holmes and Susan Parkinson in the South Pacific Health Service in PNG in the 1960s and did significant work in this field (working with Dr K. Vern Bailey) in both Simbu and Wosera/Maprik. From the start she was interested in matters social/cultural and in 1970 changed over from nutrition to anthroplogy, after studying at Sydney and Cambridge, completing her MA thesis, A study of Chimbu conjugal relationships, at the University of NSW in 1972, a version of which was published in the New Guinea Research Bulletin (No.52). Dr Johnstone continued working in the Health Service in PNG until the beginning of 1975. In the early 1970s she surveyed high school students in Port Moresby on their attitudes towards marriage and prostitution and later produced a thesis on Simbu/Gumine sex workers in Moresby (Johnstone, J.D. 1993. The Gumini Bisnis-Meri : a study of the development of an innovative indigenous entrepreneurial activity in Port Moresby in the early 1970s, PhD thesis, Brisbane, University of Queensland, 373pp.) which includes interesting work on the Five Mile and Six Mile squatter settlements in Port Moresby.

Scorpion - Central New Guinea . Narrative of exploring expedition.

  • AU PMB MS 83
  • Collectie
  • 1965

The narrative is an account of one of the first crossing by Europeans of the rugged 12,000 ft Star Mountains Range, in what was then the Australian Trust Territory of New Guinea. The Star Mountains are a mountain range in western Papua New Guinea and the eastern end of Highland Papua, Indonesia. The crossing of the mountains was accomplished by a party of six men, including Thomas Hayllar, who set out from Telefomin on February 25, 1965. The men climbed two of the highest peaks in the ranges, Mt Capella and Mt Scorpion, and visited a sheet of water called Lake Vivien.

Slides from John Baker’s Voluntary Service Overseas placement in Solomon Islands

Slides from John Baker’s Voluntary Service Overseas placement in Solomon Islands

  • AU PMB PHOTO 114
  • Collectie
  • 1964-1965

This collection of 540 colour photographs was taken by John Baker in Solomon Islands in 1964 and 1965, while he was working there as a volunteer under the auspices of the British Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO) organisation. He was 18 and 19 at the time and was what was known as a school leaver volunteer. There were 10-15 VSOs in the Solomons in 1964, with most working as teachers in mission boarding schools. However, John was attached mainly to two District Administrations to work on various local projects.

At the time, Solomon Islands was under colonial administration known as the British Solomon Islands Protectorate (BSIP), in which virtually all senior and technical/professional positions were still held by expatriates. Thus VSOs were working within and were very much a part of a colonial culture.

The photographs in the collection were taken with a Voigtlander Vito B camera on Kodachrome 100 colour slides. The camera was stored, including for many canoe trips, in an old Sunshine Milk tin with a bag of silica gel in the bottom. Captions for the photos were written in a foolscap notebook when the slides came back from processing. Thus the names of people and places were all recorded contemporaneously and so are likely to be accurate. These captions, written in 1964-65, sometimes have a colonial tone but have been left unchanged as they are an historical reflection of their times.

John Baker’s first work as a VSO was from August-November 1964 as a teacher at the Geological Department’s survey school in Honiara. Then he transferred to Western District headquarters in Gizo and worked during December 1964 and January 1965 as a surveyor on the Wagina Island Gilbertese resettlement scheme. In February 1965 he transferred to Eastern District headquarters in Kira Kira where he spent six weeks working on local election preparations. He then moved back to Gizo and spent April to August 1965 travelling round, organising the construction of concrete drinking water tanks in various villages in the Roviana and Wana Wana lagoons and subsequently on the island of Ranonnga.
