Paremata Press

For over 40 years, Rhys Richards' writing has spanned the Age of Sail in the Pacific. He has sounded even the most remote islands in that ocean's vast expanses, exploring the history of Western contact and commerce, the many Indigenous cultures of the Pacific Islands and the impact of whaling and sealing on the survival of those societies and species. 

Paremata Press publishes a selection Rhys Richards' books, ensuring ready access to the scattered and fragmentary primary sources for Pacific and New Zealand readers.
