This guide is an updated version of Mandy Banton's indispensable introduction to the records of British government departments responsible for the administration of colonial affairs, and now held in The National Archives of the United Kingdom. It covers the period from about 1801 to 1966. It has been planned as a user-friendly guide concentrating on the organisation of the records, the information they are likely to provide and how to use the contemporary finding aids. It also provides an outline of the expansion of the British empire during the period and discusses the organisation of colonial governments.
Prize-winning historian Robert Gildea dissects the legacy of empire for the former colonial powers and their subjects.

Excerpt from Colonial Administration of Great Britain This dissertation had its origin in an inquiry which, in the year 1853, I felt it my duty to make, as to the foundation of the law I was to administer under Her Majesty's Commission. The inquiry was begun without anticipation that it would lead to more than perfecting information for the discharge of a responsible duty. If any reader shall be staggered at some of the doctrines propounded, he will not be more so than I freely confess I myself was, when I first found them to be the inevitable result of reflection, as the subject gradually developed itself. Finding the inquiry to be interesting, I committed the result to paper, and completed the MS. so long ago as the year 1854. At that time the Crimean war was in full vigor, - presently came our quarrel with China, - and immediately upon the back of it the great Indian rebellion. While these demands upon the national resources continued, it did not seem prudent to publish a dissertation of this kind; although, in a pecuniary point of view, it might have been wiser for myself to have done so, inasmuch as dissatisfaction by several of our colonies with the mode of their government was then rather lively, and public opinion a good deal directed to the subject. That state of the colonies, however, operated only as one reason the more for refraining from publication.

Excerpt from American Colonial Government, 1696-1765: A Study of the British Board of Trade in Its Relation to the American Colonies, Political, Industrial, Administrative The period covered by this volume, 1696-1765, is one of the most important in the growth of the American nation. It was during this period that the original colonies developed their traditions of political liberty, and acquired by steady encroachments on the part of the assemblies practically complete self-government. The year 1700 found the colonies outside of New England weak dependencies under the direct control of the crown or of proprietors: in each colony an appointed council exercised the full legislative powers of an upper house, an appointed governor held the executive power unlimited by any written constitution, the elected lower house was timid and inexperienced. By 1765 the councils had been robbed of their chief legislative powers, judges and other officers had become dependent upon the lower house, and the governors had been reduced to inefficient figureheads, dependent upon the assemblies for their daily bread, and impotent to obey the orders they received from England. There are few stories more fascinating than the account of this gradual subversion of the old colonial constitution by our stubborn forefathers, and the substitution in its place of a government which could be controlled independent of the mother country.
