Description: Comprises 63 notebooks of Adkin's ethnological notes on Maori place-names, maps, diagrams and drawings of artefacts and archaeological sites throughout New Zealand although concentrating on the Horowhenua, Wellington and Wairarapa regions. The early notebooks contain material for his book, `Horowhenua', the later for `The Great harbour of Tara' (1959). The notebooks also contain his preliminary or completed drafts which he recopied for all his various papers published in the `Journal of the Polynesian Society'. One volume is of genealogies, and there are also two index volumes to the series, `Index to recording books of Maori lore, place-names, artefacts, etc' for vols 1-50 and 51-63. Most of the volumes have inserted material and loose notes and papers. Adkin included on his maps the viewpoints for slides taken during expeditions, tours and excavations A great deal of the Maori content in these volumes is focused on, but not restricted to, the tribes of the greater Kapiti-Horowhenua-Rangitikei districts. This includes the Ngati Ira and Ngai Tara; Ngati Toa, Ngati Raukawa and Te Ati Awa; Muaupoko and Rangitane; and the Waitaha peoples who Adkin believed occupied these districts prior to the tribes listed above. There is a great deal of documentation about archaeological material found within (and outside) these districts with supporting maps, sketches and notes which often disclose information about where Maori artefacts and human remains where found, their particular characteristics, who found them etc. These papers also include the use of whakapapa. Accompanying material - Letter from donor describing background to collection; bibliography compiled by donor, and `A Bibliography of Wellington geology' by J G Begg, C Mazengarb and R G Zucchetto (1994) Source of title - Supplied Relationship complexity - Please check catalogue for further Adkin collections, and inventory Relationship complexity - See also other GL Adkin collections MS-Papers-0261 (194 folders), and Micro-MS-0600 (12 microfilm reels).
