Title	Gambia Under Colonial Rule, in Government Reports, 1881–1966
Description	This comprehensive collection explores in detail Gambia’s history under British colonial rule through extensive governmental reports. Beginning near the end of the nineteenth century with the formation of Gambia as a British colony and protectorate, this collection tracks the wide-ranging administrative duties of various governmental departments within Gambia up until the country’s independence in the 1960s. From recording crime and disease levels throughout the territory, to in-depth reports concerning agricultural reform. These documents contributed by The British and Commonwealth Office provide a thorough level of insight into Gambia’s history as a British colony. This collection is accompanied by an online guide to the microfilm edition by D. C. Dorward, Lecturer in African History, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Australia.
