Papers of Henry Evans and Honor Courtney Maude

I. Publications

• Back to Maude Contents Summary page

This series is divided into three groups of files, the first consisting for the most part of correspondence, notes and listings of sources relating to my more important publications. Drafts and revisions have not been included unless there was some special reason, and for most searchers the main value of the group will lie in the material on sources, many of which were not used or quoted in the published paper, monograph or book. More comprehensive treatment has been given to Of Islands and Men, a book generally considered to be of particular importance in the development of Pacific historical studies; and to a lesser extent to the three papers most often quoted in other literature: 'Pacific History: Past, Present and Future', Beachcombers and Castaways' and 'The Swords of Gabriel'. A complete list of publications, to 1977, by H.E. (Harry) and H.C. (Honor) Maude is given on pp.22-31 of Gunson, Niel (ed.), The Changing Pacific: Essays in Honour of H.E. Maude (Melbourne, Oxford University Press, 1978).

The second group is concerned with correspondence on, and the provision of Forewords, Introductions, Endnotes or Bibliographies for, publications by friends and colleagues, including three of the 11 books in the Pacific History or Pacific Monograph Series edited by me; and the third group comprises, quite illogically, some papers by me which for one reason or another were never published.

A fourth group has been created for files on later and “pending” publications received subsequently (I[49] – I[56]), and an extensive but not complete set of Maude's articles and addresses have been collected together as Series I[57]
