HOM.S2

History of Micronesia: A Collection of Source Documents is a multi-volume collection of documents relating to Micronesia dating from 1521 onwards.

The contents of HOM were compiled, translated, edited and annotated by Rodrigue Levesque. Rod located and made novel translations of thousands of documents between 1992 and 2002. These were organized in forty massive volumes, with only the first twenty being printed in physical, hardbound form. In 2022, the US nonprofit Habele obtained the copyrights to the full History of Micronesia series with the aim of offering free and navigable access to the public.

The first series (HOM) consists of Volumes 1 through 20, covering the period of 1521 through 1827.
