Hank Nelson

Hyland Neil "Hank" Nelson was one of Australia's foremost historians of the Pacific, particularly Papua New Guinea. His interest in the region began in 1966 when he took a teaching position at the Administrative College of Papua New Guinea and later the University. He lived in Papua New Guinea for seven years and studied the period of Japanese occupation, which led to several publications. ^{Hank Nelson, Australian historian and academic (d. 2012)}
