This is a work in progress. When it is finished I will have links to most of the articles concerning Samoa and its people that were published by the Journal of the Polynesian Society between the years 1892 and 1991, organized by general topic, with the author(s) listed. Until then, you may search for specific terms by pressing ctrl + f.
One thing to remember is that most, if not all, of these articles were written by non-Samoans. Thus, the perspective is likely different from what the Samoans themselves would have written about their own language, traditions, and people. Nevertheless, these should prove interesting and instructive on many points.
Also, in many instances the written Samoan is not correct. I suppose only an intimate acquaintance with the language itself can mitigate this problem. Being a student of the Samoan language for the past nine years, I can say that any efforts you may make to become better acquainted with Samoan and its various levels of discourse will be richly rewarding.
