Missionary and Premier of Tonga. Born in London, Baker arrived in Melbourne as a stowaway in 1852. In 1860 he was ordained as a Wesleyan minister and sent to Tonga, where he became chief adviser to King George Tupou, founder of the Tongan kingdom. Baker was recalled in 1879 by a missionary committee for unorthodox fundraising methods.

From the description of Correspondence [manuscript]. 1880. (Libraries Australia). WorldCat record id: 222782381

The Reverend Shirley Waldemar Baker (1836-1903) was an English Wesleyan missionary who arrived in Tonga from Australia in 1860. During his stay of more than 30 years, Baker became a close adviser to King Tupou I and, like the King, an active promoter of Tonga's independence in the face of European colonial expansion in the south Pacific. Baker's many disputes with other Europeans in Tonga, most notably with his fellow missionary James Moulton, and especially with the British government officials in Fiji and elsewhere, generated a degree of controversy unique among 19th-century missionaries working in the Pacific. His metamorphosis into a politician culminated in his appointment as Premier of Tonga. (John Spurway, Baker Papers, Journal of Pacific History, 38:2, 2003.).

These papers of Rev. Shirley and Beatrice Baker were bequeathed to the Mitchell Library by Dorothy Crozier along with her own research papers. They were transferred from the Mitchell Library to the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau in August 2001. Lillian Baker, a daughter of Shirley Baker who lived in Ha'apai, gave the papers to Dorothy Crozier in 1950 when Ms Crozier was researching culture change in Tonga under the supervision of Professor Raymond Firth.

Title: Papers of Robert Graves: Works by others: pamphlets, offprints and other materials

The subfonds consists of pamphlets, offprints, theses and printed ephemera by authors other than Graves. It also includes unpublished and draft works by others. Occasionally material appears to have been actively acquired by Graves, such as the extracted and copy material on Tonga, complementing the holdings of the working library, also now at St John's College. More commonly, items have been sent as apparently unsolicited gifts by friends and admirers. The subfonds also contains works of biography and literary criticism with Graves as their subject, including proofs of the biographies by Martin Seymour-Smith and Richard Perceval Graves. Some material accumulated after the death of Graves.
