Scope and Contents

From the Fonds:

The collection comprises G.K. Roth's subject files on Fijian affairs, culture, history, sociology and administration. Some of the material is in Fijian. The subject files have been recorded as found [i.e. transcribed directly from the covers of the files]. The terms 'native', 'natives' and 'native administration', as used by Roth in his capacity as a colonial administrator to refer to Fijian people and the structure of colonial government, have been retained in their original context.
The collection also includes one box of papers collected by Adolph B. Brewster, a member of Fijian Colonial Service.
