Colonial State Papers

Primary source material is invaluable to the historical researcher but was always difficult to examine until the explosion of online databases and digitization projects. Colonial State Papers offers a unique collection of primary source material, documents presented to the Privy Council and Board of Trade between 1574 and 1757, which allows the researcher to explore the early British Colonial period. These documents are useful to researchers in many fields of history. The high-quality digitized images offered in Colonial State Papers allow the user to examine the documents in ways other primary source databases do not.
