Definitive edition of an annotated bibliography of printed works about Micronesia arranged in chronological order with an emphasis on history, plus general works, and reference works on the same subjects. Book 2—Ships Through Micronesia. Definitive edition of a chronological list of ships that visited Micronesia, from Magellan’s time to modern times. Book 3—Cumulative Index to Volumes 1-19. Definitive edition, arranged alphabetically, from A to Z. 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.
