Scope and content
Dr Peter Sack was Senior Fellow in Law, Research School of Social Sciences, Australian National University, 1957-1998. These research papers were compiled by Dr Sack in the 1960s and 1970. They document descent, land ownership systems and cultural patterns of inheritance and ownership which effect land tenure. They refer, not just to customary land tenure issues, but to land alienation during the German colonial period and subsequent restoration to indigenous customary owners. Dr Sack's mongraph, Land between two laws : early European land acquisitions in New Guinea, ANU Press, 1973, is based on these research papers.
Notes on land from the records of the Department of District Administration, 1900-1968. Extracts from New Guinea patrol reports relating to customary law, 1943-1966. Notes, extracts and some original documents on customary law in PNG, 1870s-1968. Notes, extracts and some original documents on land matters in New Guinea, 1880s-1971.
