General note about the records of the British Military Occupation of Samoa 1914 - 1920 The records were not organized into a classification system, but gathered together in folders. They appear to be principally records of the Native Department. The department was apparently one of the main agencies of the administration, being the main link with local government. It was responsible for the appointment and supervision of village officials [Pulenuu] and magistrates. Apart from correspondence with local officials, the papers include a quantity of miscellaneous letters and departmental memoranda. Native Department, Inwards Letters (1914-1918) The files originate from local officials’ correspondence and concern official appointments, and law and order. The files also include appeals against court sentences, action of the German administration, requests for assistance and matters concerning indentured Chinese. The papers are bound together between paper covers, each file relating to a particular village. The covers are marked in most cases with the name of the village and the initials of the district. 1.
