This collection is the first part of a major new program bringing the British Colonial Office files to a global audience.
These working files bear witness to the two very different sides in the colonial relationship: a British Government whose main priority was the acquisition of commodities, wealth and labour; and the local people living under colonial rule and British-style institutions for law, health, education, policing, defense, agriculture and industry.
The trial period is from now on to 15th October 2023. Access link: https://go-gale-com.hksyu.idm.oclc.org/ps/start.do?p=SPOC&u=hksyu
