Government publications relating to the Cape of Good Hope

Catalogue record

Notes

Included in this collection are virtually all known annexures to the votes and proceedings (i.e. all the papers that were laid before Parliament for the inspection of members) during the periods of 'representative and responsible government' at the Cape of Good Hope.
The annexures consist of a wide variety of documents, the most common being reports of select committees, bills and petitions and reports of government departments. This latter group of documents in effect provides a full run of annual departmental reports of the kind published in the series Annual Departmental Reports relating to African Countries prior to Independence, and their existence in Group I of this publication obviates the need for including them in the separate Annual Departmental Reports series.
Group I: Votes & proceedings, annexures and select committee reports of the Cape House of Assembly and the Legislative Council, 1854-1910 (285 reels with printed guide)
Group II: Statistical registers of the Cape of Good Hope, 1821-1909 (47 reels)
Introduction by Dr. Shula Marks, School of Oriental & African Studies, University of London and Anthony Atmore.
