Communications and Financial Services
Collection: Gambia Under Colonial Rule, in Government Reports, 1881-1966 Volumes Communications and Financial Services
Communications via post and telegraph occupied an important role for the non-native staff of the Gambia. These reports reveal the extent to which such service provision was used by non-native workers from the late 1950's until the early 1960's. In addition to managing interntional communications, the Colonial Government also ran its own bank via the post office, the records of this bank from 1941 until 1964 are also included here.
