Index to Rhodes House MSS

Since its inception in 1928, Rhodes House Library in Oxford has been steadily building up its manuscript material relating to the British Empire and Commonwealth. In ad dition, over the past six years the Oxford Colonial Records Project has deposited in the library con siderable collections of diaries and private papers of former colonial administrators.

To satisfy a growing demand, the Rhodes House Librarian, Louis B.

Frewer has now compiled a summary guide to manuscript material in his custody, excluding Africana (for which a guide already exists). This companion volume is an up-to-date list of holdings territorially arranged and indexed. Material under official or personal restriction is indicated; Rhodes House Library shelf-numbers have been appended to entries for all “open” material. The list is available from the library at 15/- (5A2.00) per copy, post free.
