Scope and content
It is probable that these files, as well as containing correspondence of a general nature to the Commission, were used to file papers relating to land cases which were not proceeded with or which did not merit a separate file. In 1955 the German Consul's archives were discovered in Apia with the records of the German Colonial Administration. These were removed and transferred to the National Archives of New Zealand for extensive conservation work and microfilming. The decision was made to document the German-Samoan agencies and record series as if they had transferred the records in 1914 - which is why the Executive Council of Western Samoa, although the 'true' transferring agency, is not fully documented.
