A landmark work of archival scholarship, Manuscripts in the British Isles Relating to Australia, New Zealand, and the Pacific presents a comprehensive and meticulously compiled guide to primary source materials held in repositories across England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. Phyllis Mander-Jones catalogues thousands of manuscript collections — spanning official correspondence, personal papers, journals, and maps — that document the history of European contact, colonisation, and administration throughout the Australasian and Pacific regions. The tone is authoritative and methodical, serving as an indispensable reference tool for historians, archivists, and researchers tracing the documentary heritage of the Pacific world. Each entry details the nature, extent, and location of the relevant manuscripts, making it an essential navigational aid through the vast holdings of institutions such as the British Museum, the Public Record Office, and numerous private collections. First published in 1972, this scholarly resource remains a foundational text for anyone undertaking serious research into the colonial and pre-colonial history of Australia, New Zealand, and the broader Pacific.
