Ligeremaluoga (c.1890-1972), a New Ireland man, was a leader of the Methodist Church in New Britain and New Ireland

The material microfilmed comprises the first and probably the third (and last) volumes of Ligeremaluoga's autobiography. The second volume has apparently been lost. (The whole work was translated and edited by Miss Ella Collins and published as "The Erstwhile Savage" (Sydney, 1932). A foreword to the published work states: 'The writer has been quite frank in his disclosure of old native customs - in fact, so frank that some portions of the original have had to be excluded in order to make the book fit for general publication
