The Early Journals of Henry Williams

Bibliography
I. Papers of Archdeacon Henry Williams
a. Manuscripts
The original manuscript journals of Henry Williams and his manuscript letters to the Church Missionary Society are in the archives of the Society in London. Archdeacon Williams, however, took copies of part of the journals, of many of his letters to the C.M.S., and of other letter written to various people. These with other manuscript letters from his grandfather and grandmother have been collected by Mr Algar Williams of Christchurch, and he has deposited all the originals, together with a number of original drawings by Henry Williams and others and some printed pamphlets and other material, in the Auckland Museum Library. In addition, he has made manuscript copies of all these documents, has indexed them and has had them bound in 30 volumes. Several other bound volumes holding some original documents, and copies of other documents, are in his possession.
The Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington, the Hocken Library, Dunedin, and the Mitchell Library, Sydney, have a number of original documents. There are also a certain number in private hands, and it is hoped that these may be deposited in one of the libraries which has special facilities for caring for them. So many irreplaceable documents have been lost through being stored in buildings which have caught fire.
b. Typescripts and Microfilm
All the manuscript letters collected by Mr Algar Williams, the manuscript letters and journals held in the C.M.S. archives in London, as well as other manuscript letters, have been typed, and have been collated by Mr Williams, who has deposited them in the Auckland Museum Library. The typescripts of the letters are bound in six volumes: Vol I, 1822–9. Vol II, 1830–8. Vol III, 1839–44. Vol IV 1845–6. Vol V, 1847–8. Vol. VI, 1849–50. There is much interesting material in these letters, especially as they supplement the entries in the journals. Typescripts are also available at the Turnbull and Hocken libraries. Turnbull Library possesses a microfilm of the journals now published.
II. Other Contemporary Manuscripts
The journals and letters of contemporary C.M.S. missionaries are of great importance for a study of the period, and fill out and confirm many points touched upon lightly by Henry Williams. The originals of these journals and letters are scattered about in various libraries, in the archives of the C.M.S., London, and in the hands of private individuals. page 496 The missionaries were expected to report regularly to their London headquarters, and did this in journals and letters. At least some of these journals were compiled from notes or diaries which were recorded from day to day, and some of these notes and diaries are still extant. This explains why there are sometimes originals of journals of similar dates lodged in different places.
“The Union Catalogue of Manuscripts held in New Zealand Libraries,” and its supplement, is a useful but incomplete list. There is an urgent need for a complete and accurate record of original material, typescripts and microfilms held in Government archives, in libraries and by private individuals. Such a record would require a great deal of research, and should not be left as a task for the overburdened staffs of the libraries.
As far as can be ascertained, the following list gives the present lodging places of the original manuscripts of the early C.M.S. missionaries, and of the typescripts of those manuscripts. Some New Zealand libraries also possess microfilms of the original journals and letters held in overseas archives and libraries.
