| Description |
On December 19 1912, the Earl of Liverpool, Mr Arthur William de Brito Savile Foljambe, became the Governor of New Zealand. He was the 16th and last Governor of New Zealand and the 1st Governor General from 1917. He retired as Governor General in 1920. Lord Liverpool was born at Compton Place, Eastbourne, on 27 May 1870, the son of Cecil George Savile Foljambe, who had served with the Naval Brigade in New Zealand in 1863–64, and of Louisa Blanche, daughter of Frederick John Howard of Sussex. Educated at Eton and Sandhurst, he saw civil service in Ireland, and military service in the Boer War. He succeeded to his father's title in 1907, and was Comptroller of the Royal Household. He died at his home Canwick Hall in May 1941, aged 70. The records displayed here are from a report of the various tours of the Pacific Islands by the Earl Of Liverpool between 1914 and 1919. The item is under the Governor group of records held at Archives New Zealand. This agency was created by Archives New Zealand to describe the records of the Governor, the Queen's representative and head of the Executive in New Zealand. The title of the office evolved over time from Lieutenant-Governor to Governor-In-Chief or Governor. The correspondence selected includes the Governor's thoughts on how Britain could develop the Pacific Islands, such as recruiting indentured Chinese labourers to assist development in Samoa and also discussions on how relationships would be maintained with Germans in Samoa after New Zealand troops annexed Samoa on the behalf of Great Britain in 1914.
