The series contains the research materials of Timothy Macnaught on the history of Fiji. It consists primarily of his handwritten research notes, which he made on index cards, especially during his fieldwork in Fiji in the early to mid-1970s. These include research for his PhD thesis (Australian National University, 1975), and a folder of work for a study of controversial Fijian leader Apolosi Nawai (1876–1946).

There are also reproductions of historic sources and a small number of drafts or other writings by other authors on subjects relevant to the history of Fiji.

A significant portion of the series is in the Fijian language.
