Extensive personal correspondence with former colleagues, friends, research students and other scholars, archival institutions and libraries. In this correspondence there is much information on Pacific history and ethnography and about sources for such studies, but few formal reports or official memoranda. Following Maude's appointment as Senior Research Fellow in Pacific History at ANU from 1957 there is some correspondence regarding departmental matters (including staff appointments) and from 1965 correspondence regarding the establishment of the Journal of Pacific History (1966) and of the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau, and the ANU Pacific History Series, (1968).
