British Government files on South Africa from the Foreign, Colonial, Dominion, and Foreign and Commonwealth Offices during the apartheid era.

A digital collection of Government publications of African colonies under Great Britain.

The documents in Confidential Print: Africa begin with coastal trading in the early nineteenth century and the Conference of Berlin of 1884 and the subsequent Scramble for Africa. They then follow the abuses of the Congo Free State, fights against tropical disease, Italy’s defeat by the Abyssinians, World War II, apartheid in South Africa and colonial moves towards independence.

Part of the British Online Archives collection, this resource comprises selected documents from a number of different microfilm collections, including: early Gold Coast records from the archives of the USPG; the papers of Thomas Perronet Thompson, the first Governor of the Colony of Sierra Leone; An account of two missionary voyages by Rev. Thomas Thompson; and the letters of Rev. Philip Quaque.

This primary source collection includes annual departmental reports concerning the Gold Coast and Togoland for the period 1843 to 1957.

This vastly important archival collection features more than 5 million cross-searchable pages of primary and secondary sources on the rise and fall of the Atlantic slave trade and anti-slavery movement.
