Biographical Note
Dr. H.G.A. (Alun) Hughes was born on 15
July 1921 at Pontlotyn, Glamorgan, South Wales, the younger son of
the Rev. R.G. Hughes and Ethel Hughes, and lived at Pontypridd,
Glamorgan from 1925 to 1939. His early education was at Maesycoed
Elementary School and at Pontypridd Boys' Intermediate School. A
Meyricke Exhibition in Modern Languages took him to Jesus College, Oxford in 1939, where he studied Spanish
and French initially, and then, after the Second World War, Spanish
and Portuguese. In June 1940 he joined the Merchant Navy, serving
in Norwegian, Panamanian, Swedish and British ships while also
engaged in counter-intelligence work. Discharged late in 1944 as no
longer fit for sea service, he returned to Jesus College, Oxford,
graduating BA (Hons.) and MA in 1946. In 1947, after a
teacher-training course at the University of London Institute of
Education, he became Research Assistant to Professor Margaret Reade
in that Institute's Colonial Department (later renamed Department
of Education in Tropical Areas).
From 1947 to 1953 he was Lecturer in Linguistics at the
University of London School of Oriental and African Studies,
specialising in Oceanic Languages especially Gilbertese (Kiribati),
Ellice (Tuvalu), and Sikaiana. Fieldwork has involved research on
Gilbertese, Nauruan, Marshallese, Ponapean, Nukuoro, Trukese,
Ellice, Tokelauan, Fijian, Tok Pisin, Samoan, and Maori. In 1950,
while working in the Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony, he was
invited by the United States Department of Interior to visit the
Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands for research purposes, the
first non-American to be accorded that privilege. In 1952 he
carried out a survey of the language position in Savai'i, 'Upolu
and Tutuila (Samoa), on behalf of the United States and New Zealand
governments. He studied anthropology with Professor Raymond Firth
at the London School of Economics and with Professor Daryll Forde
at University College London, and archaeology with Professor Gordon
Childe at the University of London Institute of Archaeology.
Falling victim to the endemic McCarthyism of the early 1950s,
the rest of Hughes’ working life was perforce spent in other
disciplines - college administration, librarianship, journalism and
translation, film criticism, management, law. He maintained
nonetheless his interest in and research on the languages, cultures
and history of the Pacific Islands, especially Micronesia and
Polynesia. In 1966 he was awarded the Candidát Vet (C.Sc.)
doctorate by the Oriental Institute of the Czechoslovak Academy of
Sciences (CSAV), for his dissertation External Factors in
Culture Change in the Gilbert Islands to 1892, and as a private
scholar and writer on the Pacific has been prolific. Recent books
include Samoa (American Samoa, Western Samoa, Samoans
Abroad) (Clio Press, 1997) and (with S.R. Fischer) a critical
edition of An Essay Toward a Dictionary and Grammar of The
Lesser-Australian Language, According to The Dialect Used At The
Marquesas (1799) (Institute of Polynesian Languages and
Literatures, 1998). Dr Hughes has further shown his academic
dedication to study of the Pacific Islands by founding the Alun
Hughes Graduate Scholarship, tenable at Jesus College, Oxford, to
support research and fieldwork on the languages, culture, and
history of Micronesia or Polynesia.
Dr Hughes first began donating microfiche and typescript copies
of his own research papers to the Barr Smith Library in 1994,
prompted by the earlier deposit of the papers of Professor H.E.
Maude and the desire to place his papers where they would be
preserved and available to future Pacific scholars. Over the
past decade he has additionally sent further papers on Pacific,
Welsh and local history and language, correspondence with
colleagues and institutions relating to Pacific language research,
and his book reviews; original and copies of archival and rare
published material by others; valuable collections of Pacific
language publications (including significant runs of Kaotan te
ota, Tala o Tuvalu and Tero) and mission and
other island printings; language recordings and contemporary
reports and administrative papers collected on field work in the
Pacific in 1950-52; and articles and other publications on Pacific
language and history by other scholars.
Note: All items are held in microfiche unless
otherwise noted. Many of the works by Hughes and some of the items
by others in Series 5 and 6 will also be found in print form in the
Pacific collection
