PAMBU-DOC614 - Dictionary and grammar of the Duke of York Island Language

Brown (1835-1917) established the Methodist Mission in New Britain (Duke of York Island) in 1875. Danks (1853-1921) joined Brown in 1878. Rooney (1843-1931) succeeded Brown and was superintendent of the mission, 1881-1888. The work was published in an extremely small edition in 1882. Only a few copies are known to exist. The copy filmed was once owned by Rooney. The manuscript corrections and additions are probably by him.

布朗（1835-1917）于1875年在新不列颠岛（约克公爵群岛）创立卫理公会传教站。丹克斯（1853-1921）于1878年加入布朗的传教工作。鲁尼（1843-1931）接替布朗，于1881年至1888年担任该传教站主管。该研究成果于1882年以极小印量刊行，目前仅知存世寥寥数册。本次数字化所用的微缩胶片载体曾为鲁尼所藏，其上的手稿修订与增补内容大概率出自其手。（该微缩胶片由太平洋手稿局（Pacific Manuscripts Bureau）制作，馆藏编号AU PMB MS 614）。这批微缩胶片的数字化工作由澳大利亚研究委员会（ARC）语言动态卓越研究中心资助。所涉语言：约克公爵群岛语。
