This collection contains more than 300 monographs and working papers digitised by the Pacific Institute. This work represents a significant contribution to the process of digitising The Australian National University's extensive and diverse oeuvre of Pacific research. Priority for digitisation was given to documents that were available in a clean hard-copy format to ensure the best quality result (incl. select non-Pacific material). Monograph series were produced in their entirety where possible; it is suggested that the scanning of incomplete Pacific publication series be a priority for future work. The imperative for this initiative – its contribution to Pacific scholarship, to genuine collaboration and to the repatriation of research to the peoples of the Pacific – should not be underestimated (read a related note on reciprocity by Ron Crocombe and Oskar Spate from 1969). This digitisation effort was supported by the Board of the Pacific Institute. Special thanks to: Deveni Temu (Pacific Librarian ANU), Wal Ambrose and others in ANH (for the TAs), Bryant Allen and Mike Bourke (for the NGRB collection), the late Hank Nelson, Colin Filer, Peter Sack, Vicki Luker (JPH material), Pam Thomas, Ron May, Robin Hide, the late Darrell Tryon, and Roger Casas Ruiz. Mike Cookson conducted this work on behalf of the Pacific Institute.

    Lines across the sea: colonial inheritance in the post colonial Pacific
    (Brisbane, Qld. : Pacific History Association, 1955) Colonial Inheritance: The Pacific Islands Experience Conference; Pacific History Association Conference; Lal, Brij L; Nelson, Hank
    Paradoxically, the colonial inheritance gains significance as the colonial era recedes into the past. This collection of papers not only summarises current issues and recent research: it is equally a foretaste of the work to be done to understand today's state structures in their historical and political contexts.

    The Papua-New Guinea elections 1964
    (Australian National University Press, 1965) Bettison, David G
    The first firm step towards independence for the people of Papua-New Guinea was taken in 1964 with the election of a representative legislature. This book describes how the Members of the House of Assembly were chosen. Officials conducting the elections were confronted with the difficulties of making the electoral process comprehensible to men and women who had had no previous contact with the institutions of modern government. At the same time the local candidates lacked a party organization or a nationalist movement or ideology through which to appeal to the voters. In such circumstances the usual pattern of election studies, focused on a national campaign, would have been inappropriate. Instead the core of this book consists of twelve studies of different constituencies, typical of different parts of Papua and New Guinea, each written by an anthropologist or a political scientist who was either working in the area or visited it for the election period. These studies have a common framework, and they are accompanied by chapters on the Legislative Councils which preceded the House of Assembly, on the political education campaign conducted by the Australian Administration and on the administration of the elections themselves, on a seminar which was held after the elections to train the new Members in their parliamentary duties, and on the first two meetings of the House of Assembly. The authors provide a wealth of material on the problems of transitional political systems, few of which are so fragmented or so underdeveloped as Papua-New Guinea. Their book is also a contribution to the political history of that country, and as such reveals much of crucial importance about Australia{u2019}s nearest neighbour.

    Papuan Entrepreneurs
    (Canberra, ACT : New Guinea Research Unit Committee, Research School of Pacific Studies, The Australian National University., 1967-04) Crocombe, R. G; Qoster-Meyer, W. J; Gray, Joanne; Langmore, J. V
    This bulletin includes three brief papers on small-scale entrepreneurial activity among Papuan people.The first presents data on four entrepreneurs among the Orokaiva of the Northern District of Papua.Three of the four were the only entrepreneurs who established enterprises on that scale based on cash-cropping without government help.The fourth was a settler on government land with a government loan.The second paper provides some information on twelve Orokaiva who conceived of themselves mainly as retail traders(even those in the sample whose stores were closed hoped to resume trading and to derive their main income from it). The third paper analyses data collected between April and July 1964 on the system of job contracting in Port Moresby and on all Papuan subcontractors who could be contacted in June and July of that year.
