East India Company Archives: India Office Records from the British Library, 1599-1947

https://www.eastindiacompany.amdigital.co.uk/

The East India Company archives from Adam Matthew Digital offers access to a unique collection covering the entirety of classes IOR/A, B, C, D, E and G of the India Office Records held at the British Library, London.  Containing royal charters, correspondence, trading diaries, minutes of council meetings and reports of expeditions, among other document types, this resource charts the history of British trade and rule in the Indian subcontinent and beyond from 1599 to 1947.

From the Company’s charter in 1600 to Indian independence in 1947, East India Company tells the story of trade with the East; politics; and the rise and fall of the British Empire. It records the challenges of a globalising world and sheds light on many contrasting narratives – from records of powerful political figures, through to the lives of native populations and the individual traders who lived and worked at the edge of Empire.
