Commerce, 1899-1980
This volume includes a range of government reports related to trade and commerce in Southern Rhodesia dated between 1899 to 1980. The reports on customs and excise are bulky, detailed documents from 1906-31; before and after these dates they are brief and cursory. They were issued by the Federal Government from 1954-1962/63. The 1933 report on commerce was with regard to Commerce and Transport, those that followed from 1944/45-1947 and 1961-1963 were upon the subjects of Commerce and Industry. The Industrial Development Advisory Committee (1940-1945) led to the establishment of the Industrial Development Commission (1945-1949), this would then be superseded by the Industrial Development Board (1959-1962). The reports on industrial development, commerce, and customs ceased being produced in the years leading to the Unilateral Declaration of Independence. Customs and excise reports ceased being printed after 1965, Commerce and Industry after 1964, and Industrial Development after 1963; some isolated reports were printed in the 1970s. Read more →
Corporations and Boards, 1926-1980
This volume includes a range of government reports related to corporations and boards in Southern Rhodesia dated between 1926 to 1980. The names of the corporations, boards, councils, and authorities featured in this volume are mostly self-explanatory. Financial assistance to keep white farmers on the land is covered in the reports of the Land and Agricultural Bank, Agricultural Assistance Board, and Agricultural Finance Corporation. Attempts to attract white immigrants and settle them on the land can be uncovered in the reports of the Land Settlement Boards. The Native Land Board reports from 1931 to 1936, reproduced here, are continued in the Reports of the Native Commissioner, amongst the Administrative Records portion of this collection. The Unreserved Land Board, 1961-1962, sold a limited amount of land to people regardless of race. The Constitutional Council endeavoured to stem the flow of racially discriminatory legislation emanating from the Rhodesian Front Government. The Silicosis Board and its successor, the Pneumoconiosis Board, were formed in response to the health hazards of mining. Read more →
Meteorology, Public Relations and Tourism, 1897-1980
This volume includes a range of government reports related to public relations and tourism in Southern Rhodesia dated between 1897 to 1980. Detailed Meteorological reports were published from the turn of the century to the outbreak of the Second World War. Thereafter, they are much briefer and the published reports end with the only Federal report, of 1954-1955. The reports upon Publicity; Public Relations; Information, Immigration and Tourism; and the Tourist Board, concern departments which broadly shared the same goal as they sought to counteract negative coverage relating to Southern Rhodesia. Other reports' titles are self-explanatory as they cover statistics, museums, monuments, archives, and libraries. Read more →
