Notes

For the history of the American colonies and the USA, the documents in the House of Lords Record Office, London, are an indispensable resource. Since the Jamestown settlement, material has accumulated in the House of Lords Record Office and sheds light on many aspects of the development of North America. Subjects included are immigration, settlement, trade (notably the slave trade), religion, fisheries, the railways, labour, patents, etc., as well as politics and international relations.
