Notes
The tiny South Atlantic island of St. Helena remains one of the remotest places in the world. Paradoxically, its history is exceptionally well documented. In this Guide, Brian Smith brings together these many public archives and the private papers of governors, ships' officers, travellers, scientists and churchmen, now located in some 85 libraries and record offices, mostly in the UK and South Africa, as well as others in private hands.
