This collection provides a unique opportunity to explore the British administration in Zimbabwe by looking at annual governmental reports. The collection compromises of over 90,000 pages of progress reports written by various government departments in Zimbabwe.

This collection, drawn from the British Foreign & Commonwealth Office records, contains a wealth of information on how Zimbabwe was run by the British. The documents within the collection are dated between 1897 and 1980, just before Zimbabwe’s independence from Britain in April 1980. The documents are conveniently divided between 12 volumes, each compromising reports from different government departments at the time.

The collection offers a unique perspective on the British administration in Zimbabwe via official government reports. The documents within this collection would be particularly beneficial to researchers and students who are not only interested in the economic history of a South African country, but also the social history. The documents provide an overview of the evolution of colonial rule from the perspective of colonial administrators.
