Volume Four archive

Volume Four: the passages, the tables and the notes, chapter by chapter

Silenced Custom. The impact of the New Zealand Colonial era on Southern Cook Islands Customary Law, History and Society. Everything each chapter of Volume Four quotes at length, its tables and genealogies, and its notes, chapter by chapter, so that the chapter can be read short and the evidence checked. Each chapter opens with an index of its parts; each part opens to show its passages and notes, and a note number in the chapter (for example 1.1) is the anchor of that note here. Sources that stand on their own, minute books, manuscripts, Journal articles and parliamentary papers, are in the Research Library; the chapters themselves are on the Books page.
