Notes
With a particular focus on the latter nineteenth century and early twentieth century, the focus of these Blue Books is upon economic development; imports, exports and each territory's balance sheets are a recurring theme throughout. Ecclesiastical records, public works and population statistics are also common themes. The enforcement of the Blue Book structure upon various territories has resulted in some degree of standardisation where administrations were compliant. Analysis of the data within these documents and the different emphases as governments changed, reveals patterns of social change during a period for which limited other records are available.
These records are a digital hybrid derived from our existing microfilm series, Government Publications relating to African countries prior to independence, which was developed under the auspices of the African Studies Association of the United Kingdom (ASAUK).
