Abstract: US wartime publication providing information on the Western Caroline Islands (Palau, Yap, and their Outer Islands), primarily dealing with German Period and Japanese Period.

Civil Affairs Handbook: West Caroline Islands: Opnav P22-7 (formerly Opnav 50e-7)” is structured into three main parts: Basic Information, Administration and Public Facilities, and Economics, each further divided into chapters and topics. The handbook includes illustrations portraying key aspects of life and enterprise on the islands. The materials within the handbook have been verified using various information sources, with statistical data dating back to 1957 and cultural insights from the German colonial period before 1914. However, more recent Japanese sources were extensively used to corroborate earlier reports.
