We took black and white photos of each household in Nanumea in the period from January to May, 1984. We want to thank each family for its gracious reception and hospitality, and for allowing us to take these photos. As you will see, many of the elders in the pictures have now passed away, and those who are small children in the pictures are today adults, often married with their own children. These pictures contain treasured memories of Nanumea more than 35 years ago.

In 1984 there were 147 households in Nanumea (vs the 144 households which existed in 1973). The numbers below are the original household numbers we assigned, simply as a way of keeping track. For convenience in organizing the photos, we have divided the households into 6 groups, as shown below.

Good News!! All the 1984 photos are now ready and are posted here!

Many people helped us with identifying each person in the photos, and we wish to thank them, fakafetai lahi!! Ko...
