    Description

    Sierra Leone Under Colonial Rule, in Government Reports, 1893-1961 contains papers from the colonial government in Sierra Leone. They reveal the approach the British took to colonial rule in this country. The reports are divided into nine distinct volumes for convenience. These are Administration, Finance, Judicial and Police, Natural Resources, Social Services, Transport and Public Works, Communications and Post Office Savings, Commerce, and Staff Lists and Miscellaneous.

    The government reports contained in this collection cover several important developments and events in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, including the First and Second World Wars, social services during colonial governance, and Sierra Leone achieving independence in 1961. The reports, therefore, provide students and academics with a unique insight into the history of Sierra Leone and the development and eventual dissolution of British colonialism in West Africa.

    This collection is accompanied by a guide to the microfilm edition, by David C. Doward.

    Title Administrative Reports 1914-1961

    Description The administrative boundaries within Sierra Leone underwent a number of radical alterations during the period covered by these administrative reports. Major revisions occured in 1920, 1924/25, 1929/30, 1935, and 1940-45. Consequently such administrative divisions as Kenema, Bombali and Moyamba refer to different areas at different times and readers are cautioned to bear this in mind. In 1945-46, constitutional amendments were enacted by the British to establish a Protectorate Assembly as a means of countering the political aspirations of the Colony's educated elite by enlisting the support of the more conservative provincial Chiefs and as part of a belated attempt to redress the political, economic, and developmental imbalance between the Colony and Protectorate. Commencing with district reports from 1914, these reports are then divided by administrative district as they extend from 1920 to 1961. Gaps in the sequence are identified in the document level descriptions.
