    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.

    Description 'Social Services' includes a variety of areas from schools and teacher training to medicine, public relations and labour. The Education Department was founded in 1909 and subsequently legalized by the Education Ordinance of 1911. Before 1909 an Annual Report on Elementary Schools in Sierra Leone was submitted by the Inspector of Schools. The 1944-45 Report on Social Welfare was issued by the 'Welfare Department'. However, until 1951 the Welfare Department was a sub-department of the Education Department. H.A. Nisbet, who was seconded from the Labour Section of the Kenya Native Affairs Department, assumed duties as Labour Secretary, Sierra Leone, on 22 July 1939. His duties were to oversee the mobilization and utilization of native labour within Sierra Leone as part of the British war effort. In July 1940 the Secretary of State for the Colonies approved the proposal by His Excellency, the Governor, for the formation of a Labour Department and provision was made in the 1941 Establishment.
