IRIAN JAYA SOURCE MATERIALS

I Introduction

The series Irian Jaya Source Materials figures prominently in the so-called Irian JayaStudies Project (IRIS). This project has been initiated by the Department of Languagesand Cultures of South-East Asia and Oceania (DSALCUL) of Leiden University(RUL), and by the Irian Jaya Study Centre (IJSC) in Irian Jaya, Indonesia. Theproject aims at the strengthening of Irian Jaya studies in general, and the IJSC inparticular. The IJSC was founded in 1986 as a research, advisory and documentationcentre in the field of primary 'cultures and development' in Irian.

The aim of the project concerned is the training of a group of skilled Irianesedevelopmental experts who can function as intermediaries between the indigenouspeople and the regional or central authorities. The employment of native specialists atall stages of planning and implementation of development projects is seen as aprerequisite for the essential involvement of the local people in developmentalactivities. This involvement, in its turn, is considered to be a prerequisite for thesuccess of development projects. In view of the failures experienced in many projects inIrian, it is by no means futile to stress that 'development' can only be effective if it isbased on a thorough knowledge of and respect for both the local cultures and localpopulation groups - who, after all, are the targeted beneficiaries of the projecteddevelopments. The 1.4 million of people in Irian Jaya, irregularly dispersed overapproximately 41 million ha., constitute a large and diverse, and as yet unknown,number of ethnic and linguistic groups (the former not necessarily coextensive with thelatter), ranging from several dozens up to 15.000 people. Within the framework of theIndonesian national developmental model, this high degree of ethnic and linguisticvariation should be considered a critical factor in the planning and implementation ofdevelopment projects. The multi-ethnic situation and the dispersed nature of theIrianese population demands the involvement of native experts and, consequently,given a lack of such experts, small scale manpower/human resources developmentalprogrammes. The Irian Jaya Studies Project is such a programme as it aims, in fact, atthe training of - to use a contemporary term - 'cultural engineers'.

Besides the training of cultural engineers, the IRIS project aims at the training ofdocumentalists and the upgrading of documentation facilities including librarycollections. The documentation programme involved is geared first of all to the needsof the IJSC as a research and advisory centre (see above). However, other projectedbeneficiaries are the local governmental and non-governmental institutions on theprovincial, 'Kabupaten' (division; former Afdeling) and 'Kecamaten' (subdivision;former Onderafdeling) levels: the documentation centre(s) of the Provincial Governmentof Irian Jaya, the Cenderawasih University, the 'Departemen-departemen Pendidikandan Kebudayaan' (Departments of Education and Culture), the Heads of the Divisionsand Subdivisions, the local Theological Colleges, and the local non-governmental

1

development organizations (NGOs). Besides an upgrading of library collections in thefield of the Irian Jaya studies, the Dutch partner in the IRIS project aims at publishingsource materials (thus far not easily accessible) - materials which are almost entirelyonly available in The Netherlands, the outcome of the earlier relationships betweenThe Netherlands and Irian Jaya.

By source materials are generally meant first or early written sources about aregion, population group and/or culture. With regard to Dutch New Guinea fourcategories of sources (and authors) can be distinguished:1.

travel and/or working reports of visiting merchants explorers/discoverers ordelegates from external centres of trade and administration,reports of the first and subsequent generations of missionaries who settled inIrian from 1855,reports of the first and subsequent generations/classes of local administrators,timespan 1898-1962,the first primarily scientific (ethnographic, linguistic, demographic) studies bymissionaries, administrators, governmental or non-governmental anthropologistsor other academically trained scholars.

Among the sources concerned, the reports of the missionaries and the localadministrators (categories 2 and 3) are the least accessible. Both the missionary andgovernmental reports were, in general, meant for 'internal use' only, and thereforeproduced in a limited edition. Particularly in the case of the missionary reports one hasto cope with the additional difficulty that these reports are scattered over many, partlyprivate, libraries and are documented (if at all) in various ways. Therefore, not beingable to make an adequate choice with regard to these reports - as an integratedbibliography of missionary sources is not yet available -, the editorial board of theIrian Jaya Source Materials has decided to give priority to the publication of earlygovernmental reports.

All kinds of reports of civil servants who served in former Dutch New Guinea areto be found in the 'Algemeen Rijksarchief (ARA: the State Archives) in The Hague, inparticular in the archives of the former 'Ministerie van Koloniën' (Ministry of theColonies). Here one can find several hundred metres of archival materials pertaining toDutch New Guinea, thus mainly the period 1848/98-1962. This material includesdozens of private collections of former civil servants, including the so-called'Rapporten-archief (Archive of Reports) , or rather, the 'Nienhuis-Collection'. Aninventory of this collection has been presented in the elaborate bibliography of VanBaal, Koentjaraningrat and Galis, 1984.The following series in the archives of the Ministry of the Colonies are important forIrian Jaya studies:1.

the 'Zakelijke Aantekeningen' (Professional Notes) 1815-1933. This seriesforms a very general, alphabetical index of articles which appeared innewspapers and periodicals, as well as an index of the so-called 'verbalen'(accounts) to the Department of Colonies. The 'verbalen'-system preceded thepresent 'dossierstelsel' (files documented per subject and date),the actual 'verbalen' (accounts) of the Department of Colonies (1901-1953),the 'mail reports': brief reports on urgent matters, written by the Governor-General, the 'Hoge Commissariaat' in Jakarta and the Governor of NewGuinea (1901-1962),

the 'Memories van Overgave' (Memoranda of Transfer), retrospective reportswhich were written by departing civil servants to bring newly appointedofficials up to date,the 'A-dossiers', predecessor of the 'dossierstelsel' (see above lb); files removedfrom the 'verbalen' (see above la), including documentation concerning theperiod 1901-1940,the 'Dossiers-archief Ministerie Overzeese Gebiedsdelen Directoraat GeneraalNed. Nieuw-Guinea BZ. 1945/46-1962',the 'Kabinetsarchief van de Gouverneur van Nederlands-Nieuw-Guinea'(Cabinet archives of the Governor of Dutch New Guinea) 1959-1962,the ' Burgelijke Stand Nederlands-Nieuw-Guinea 1946-1962' (Registry ofBirths, Deaths and Marriages Dutch New Guinea 1946-1.962; concerns onlyChinese and European citizens).

Among the series listed above the 'Memories van Overgave' (MvO) are of specialimportance. As informative reports from departing officials to their successors theMvO contain successively and per region increasingly specific information about avariety of subjects such as: composition of the local population groups, migrationmovements, village building, native leadership, kinship and marriage, customary law,residential patterns, languages, myths, as well as more typically colonial-administrativesubjects such as administrative organization, education, health care, development ofarable farming and stock-breeding, fisheries or the mining industry, possibilities for thesettlement of colonists, the relationship with missionary organizations, and so forth(see also Appendix 1). Consequently, the MvO form an important first access to thestudy of a. particular population groups or regions, b. the ethnographic and geographicmap of Irian Jaya, and c. processes of pacification1 and state formation. In short, theMvO are the first more or less systematically arranged descriptions of populationgroups and/or regions concerning Irian Jaya in its entirety; moreover, they aredescriptions in which scientific, administrative as well as developmental aspects aredealt with as they relate to each other.

Starting with the series Irian Jaya Source Materials the aforementionedcombination of qualities has been the criterion by which the editorial board has givenpriority to the publication of the Memories van Overgave - all the more so as in IrianJaya itself there is an urgent need for information presented in these Memoranda,whilst facilities for reading micro-fiches are scarcely available, particularly at the locallevel.Though the MvO are very important for a first orientation on a specific region orpopulation group, in that they provide an indispensable link in preparing field-researchor in the study of more recent sources and/or literature, they are not the only relevantsources in the archives concerned. Other important and scarcely accessible sourcesinclude specific Nota's (notes), reports of tours of inspection both by localadministrators and by medical doctors, and preliminary studies in the field of

1 By pacification is meant the process by which a central, intertribal or interregional organization imposes aform of organization and control geared to a large number of population groups on a relatively automouspopulation group, through which process for the first time that group is permanently incorporated into awider organization at the level of state and/or church.

linguistics and anthropology. Examples of these are the reports of preliminaryexploration tours, reports on campaigns to suppress epidemic diseases, the Nota's ofGalis, Pans' MA thesis 'De Arfakkers, een volk in beweging' (The Arfak People; APeople on the move), or wordlists collected by the linguist Anceaux. Besides these, notonly the missionary archives but also the National Indonesian Archives ('ArsipNasional') contain valuable unplublished materials (see also De Graaf en Tempelaars,1990). Consequently, in addition to the Memories van Overgave (Series A), a seriesSpecial Manuscripts (Series B) will be published.

As far as the sequence of publication of the MvO (Series A) is concerned, theeditorial board has taken into consideration the prevailing distinction between twocategories of Memories: the 'Afdelingsmemories' and the 'Onderafdelingsmemories'. Theformer are division reports, written by an 'Assistent-Resident'; the latter aresubdivision reports, written either by a 'Controleur' or another local administrator.However, the distinction between the division reports and the subdivision reportsinvolves not only a spatial but also a temporal difference. The division reports arepredominantly pre-World War II MvO1, whilst the subdivision reports arepredominantly post-World War II MvO. This distinction is important because duringthe process of pacification and subsequent administrative developments both thenumber of subdivisions and divisions increased, so the boundaries of the pre-WorldWar II divisions do not correspond with those of the post-World War II divisions.Consequently, the pre-World War II division reports cannot be simply filed togetherwith the post-World War II subdivision reports under the heading of the newly defineddivisions (as filed in the Nienhuis Archives2), especially as after the World War II notonly the number and boundaries but also in part the names of the divisions weremodified. These changes are reflected in Figure 1 (next page).

As an introduction is not the place to wrestle with the details of the administrativehistory of Dutch New Guinea, in Figure I we confine ourselves to an overview of themain shifts in the composition and/or names of the divisions and subdivisions. Theoverview shows the following changes in the names and the composition of thedivisions (Afdelingen):

- the Subdivision Fak Fak (Fakfak/Fak-Fak) was transformed into a division,- the Division West New Guinea was extended northwards and came to include thewhole Bird's Head area,

1 The only exceptions are Courtois 1948 (Division North New Guinea) and Maurenbrecher 1953 (DivisionWest New Guinea).2 The distinction between Division Memoranda and Subdivision Memoranda is correctly but implicity dealtwith in the recent 'Catalogue & Inventory of the Memories van Overgave' of the ARA microfiches collection(ARA/microformat Publications 1990). In the catalogue concerned the Memoranda are registeredconsecutively according to the numbers of the former Ministry of the Colonies (MMK numbers), and are(re)grouped per a. island, b. part of an island/area, and c. residency, division or subdivision. TheMemoranda of Dutch New Guinea are presented in three subsections. North New Guinea, South NewGuinea and West New Guinea, whilst within each subsection both the Division Memoranda and theSubdivision Memoranda are filed together in sub-subsections, in which the Division Memoranda correctlyprecede the Subdivision Memoranda. However, this presentation, in conjunction with the fact thatSubdivision Memoranda are noted seperately according to both their permanent and temporary names,suggests that there have been three Divisions and some thirthy Subdivisions, whereas, in fact, there havebeen more Divisions and fewer Subdivisions. Furthermore, as the sequence of presentation of theMemoranda follows the MMK numbers, this results in the rather arbitrary classification of the Fak-Fak,Kaimana and Mimika Subdivisions as West New Guinea Subdivisions - and not South New GuineaSubdivisions.

- the western boundary of the Division North New Guinea was moved furthereastwards whilst subsequently this division was split up into the DivisionGeelvinkbaai and the Division Hollandia (implying the disappearance of the name'Afdeling Noord Nieuw-Guinea',- the former 'Exploratie Ressorten' (exploration areas) 'Midden en West-Bergland'

5

(Central and West Mountain Area), with the 'Wisselmerengebied' (Wissel LakesArea) became the 'Afdeling Centraal Bergland' (Division Central Mountains).

So, a pre-1950 administrative reorganization involving only the subdivisions (withoutany consequences for the existing divisions) was followed by a post-1950 reorganizationand/or reclassification of both the subdivisions and the divisions (see also Figure 2 inrelation to the Maps 1-7). However, although the reclassifications concerned areimportant for understanding the meaning of the titles of the successive MvO, they aremainly important to understand the difference between the Division Memoranda andthe Subdivision Memoranda, as indicated above.

Having provided some information about the developmental history of the MvO,attention can now be focussed on the sequence of publication of the MvO. It isenvisaged to publish at least the Afdelingsmemories (Division Memoranda). TheOnderafdelingsmemories (Subdivision Memoranda) will follow if time permits. Thereason for giving priority to the Afdelingsmemories is that these MvO allow a quickorientation of the entire area of Dutch New Guinea - as far as it was under Dutchrule -, while they also mark the administrative framework within which the Onder-afdelingsmemories emerged. Insight into that framework is necessary as, for instance,parts of the Bird's Head area and/or the Raja Ampat area off and on fell under therule of the division of North New Guinea, sometimes under the division of West NewGuinea, or else a temporary combination of the Division West New Guinea and theDivision South Nieuw-Guinea (before 1901), or a temporary combination of theDivision West New Guinea and the Division North New Guinea (1934-37; thenincluding the Subdivision South New Guinea). Next, the Division Memorandaconcerning the Bird's Head Peninsula and the adjacent Radja Ampat / Empat area willbe published first, followed by the Division Memoranda concerning the south coastarea, and, finally, those concerning the north coast area. This sequence of presentationof the Division Memoranda is considered relevant because a. the MvO concerned aredirectly linked to the (preceding) reports written by visiting civil servants, or the MvOof the Residents of Ternate or Amboina/The Moluccas1, and b. in 1898 the firstresident civil servants were appointed to posts in the Bird's Head and along the southcoast (Manokwari and Fakfak, respectively). At this point it should be noted that thestatus of the division South New Guinea became uncertain in the period between 1925and World War II. In the archives one usually finds the description '(Onder)afdeling',(Sub)division, for the period and area concerned. As this marks just a change in theadministrative status of South New Guinea, and neither a change of the name nor a

1 From 1921 to 1923 Dutch New Guinea was a separate Residency with Manokwari as its administrativecentre. In 1925 the Residency Amboina was transformed into the 'Governement der Molukken', which wasdivided into two residencies, a. the Residency Amboina, including the new Subdivision South New Guinea,and b. the Residency Ternate, including the Division North New Guinea and the Division West New Guinea(Staatsblad Ned. Indie no. 640). In 1934 the 'Governement der Molukken' was retransformed into the'Residentie Molukken', including 4 divisions: 1. the Division Amboina, the Division Toeal, including theSubdivisions South New Guinea and Upper Digoel (in 1936 the Subdivision South New Guinea became partof the Division West & North New Guinea, in 1937 South New Guinea became again a part of the DivisionToeal), 3. the Division Ternate, and 4. the Division West & North New Guinea (Staatsblad Ned. Indie 1934.no. 620). From 1947 to 1949 Dutch New Guinea became a Residency again, which after 1949 wastransformed into the Government of Dutch New Guinea, with Hollandia [Jayapura] as its administrativecentre. A short recapitulation of the administrative history of Dutch New Guinea, including references tohistorical sources, is found in Van Baal, Galis and Koentjaraningrat 1984:44-50, 54-62, 88-91.

change of the boundaries, one can regard the Memories concerned either as DivisionMemoranda (the de facto situation), or as Subdivision Memoranda (the de juresituation). Though in this case the distinction between Afdeling/Division andOnderafdeling/Subdivision is a rather artificial one (marked by the fact that, forthe period concerned, the term 'Zuid Nieuw-Guinea' is maintained), the editorial boardhas decided to follow the formal distinction between Afdeling and Onderafdeling in thepresentation of the MvO. In the following section both a geographico-chronological listof MvO and an alphabetical list of authors of the MvO concerned is presented. Withregard to the first list it is noted that some MvO are named not after the name of the(sub)division but after the name of its administrative centre. (Contemporary names areindicated by '[ ]'. In Figure 2 is noted which centre corresponds to which division orsubdivision.) Then it is indicated that there are two collections of the Memoranda: theMMK collection and the KIT'collection. The Memoranda of the KIT collection areoften incomplete as the result of a censoring of 'sensitive' sections in the past. In theIJSM Series the most complete Memoranda will be reproduced. These are, as a rule,the MMK Memoranda.The geographico-chronological list shows also that the first MvO of the Division SouthNew Guinea and the Division West New Guinea date from 1906 and 1911,respectively, whilst (according to the available archival information) the first MvO ofthe Division North New Guinea appears as late as 1925. In this context it is againnoted that the MvO of the Residents/Governors of Amboina/The Moluccas andTernate - the Residencies of which Dutch New Guinea was a part from 1898 until 1947- also contain important information about the administrative developments during thefirst quarter of this century.

In the IJSM series the original text, including spelling mistakes and differences orinconsistency in orthographical rules, will be maintained. Each volume of about 200pages, consisting of several MvO, will have an index and - if not available in the MvOitself (compare the Appendix) - tables of contents. In almost all the MvO one findsmarginal notes, which are comments by the superior of the author. These remarkswill be given in notes.
