PREFACE

This is the companion volume to Volume 4 The Crown, the Treaty, and the Hauraki Tribes, 1800-1885 by Robyn Anderson. It contains all the essential reference material that Dr Anderson considers necessary to support her report. There are three parts to this volume because the eighty documents that are reproduced, comprise just over 1,500 pages.

In Addition, the supporting papers referred to by David Alexander in his report The Activities of the Trust Commissioner are located in Part 3 of this volume. There are just over fifty documents comprising another 100 pages.

The Activities of the Trust Commissioner is a small self contained report included as Appendix III in Volume 4 The Crown, the Treaty, and the Hauraki Tribes, 1800-1885 by Dr Robyn Anderson.

The index to all supporting papers are set out in the preliminary pages found at the start of each part of this volume.
