Gilbert and Ellice Islands Colony Collection

Lands records from Funafuti and Nanumea Islands and most of the Lands Commission records held by the Tuvalu National Archives. Contains some genealogical material. When choosing material to copy, the project identified records that documented language, culture, tradition, customs and heritage. The original records are files, notebooks, registers and loose papers. They cover the dates c 1884-1973. The records are written either in Tuvalu or a combination of Tuvalu and English.
