Wallis Island papers, pp.1-97, compiled by Dr Georges J.L.Renaud. The PDF contains the following 3 items: 1. A carbon copy of an anonymous work on Wallisian grammar, 'Elements de grammaire wallisienne'. It may be the grammar by Dr Maxim Viala. According to Paul Privat-Deschanel, cited by Patrick O'Reilly in his Bibliographie ... des Iles Wallis et Futuna (Paris: Musee de l'Homme, 1964). Dr Viala, while Resident and medical officer in Wallis in the early 1900s, compiled a Wallisian grammar and dictionary which was expected to be published. P. O'Reilly notes that to 1964, it had not appeared. Another, possibly the original, copy of the manuscript was owned in the 1950s by Prof. J. Guiart, then in New Caledonia; 2.Black and white photograph of Dr Renaud; and 3. Text of a lecture 'Les Iles Wallis et Futuna' given in Paris in about 1960 by Dr Renaud but based on his 1931-33 experiences and subsequent researches. See also PMB DOC 399.
