Henry Evans Maude

Henry ("Harry") Evans Maude (1906 – c. 2006) was a British civil servant and anthropologist. He was the husband of Honor Maude.

Educated at Cambridge University, Harry Maude spent the years 1929-1948 working as a civil servant and administrator in various Pacific Islands, in particular the British colony of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands, even as Resident Commissioner from 1946 to 1949.

From 1948-1957 he worked for the South Pacific Commission, following which he worked as a Research Fellow for the Australian National University Research School of Pacific Studies until 1971. He has published widely on aspects of Pacific Islands history and was a prime mover in the establishment of the Pacific Manuscripts Bureau.

The bulk of his personal papers are held at the University of Adelaide Barr-Smith Library. An extensive set of pages devoted to the life and work of Harry Maude can be found at the University of Adelaide library. He also published the work of Sir Arthur Grimble.
