Description:
State Papers Online Colonial is a digitisation programme of the Colonial Office files of the British Government, now housed at The National Archives, United Kingdom. These documents record Britain’s administration and governance of countries under Britain’s colonial rule, their international relations across the period, and the changing demographics and daily life of their inhabitants.
This colonial history continues to influence these now-independent countries today through chosen strategic alliances, institutional structures, and how they deal with their colonial legacy.
