Description: From the mid-1980s to the early 1990s, an Oral Histories Program was based within the Cultural Affairs Office of Western Province, in the provincial capital of Gizo. Laurence Stubbs of Australia recorded 20 cassettes in 1987 and 1992 and deposed cassettes with the Cultural Affairs Office. Content of the recordings are historical tales, descriptions of obsolete social practices and technologies, myths, and humorous stories. Some stories from these recordings were published in two books edited by Laurence Stubbs (Manoga Maka Vavakato Pa Ganoqa/ Eleven Stories from Ranongga. 1989. Gizo, Solomon Islands: Western Province Government and Kaki Vavakato Pa Ganoqa/ More Stories from Ranongga. 1991. Gizo, Solomon Islands: Western Province Government.) Most have not been written. In 1999, Debra McDougall made copies of these cassettes in the Solomon Islands Broadcasting Studio in Gizo. The original cassettes in the Cultural Affairs Office were destroyed sometime in the 2000s. LMG0015 funded the digitisation, description, and partial transcription of these files.
