Scope and content
Some files were obviously part of a former series (6082) for which no list is existent. Files seem to have been top numbered into series 6059 at some later date. There are no annotations to indicate that any papers were added after the top numbering. Papers relate to the dealings between the district administrator and villages and organisations in his area. 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.
