Abstract

During strengthening of the historic Turnbull House in Wellington, carried out by the Department of Conservation between April and July of 1995, it became necessary to place in storage the library of the Royal Philatelic Society of New Zealand. Subsequent unpacking of the numerous cartons of books and journals brought to light a battered thick brown folder labelled South Pacific Islands—Pamphlets, Cuttings, Original Letters and Articles etc.'The folder carried the signatures of the late Pat Lawlor and A. R. Burge and, in a different hand, ex Pat Lawlor'. From this I deduce that the folder was given to Dick Burge by Lawlor or had come into his hands from the Lawlor estate and that Burge used it as background for his various publications on the postal histories of a number of Pacific Islands.
