Drawing material from a range of modern empires from the late 18th century to the present day, chapters consider the ways in which newer ways of thinking about the past have challenged more traditional views of 'the archive’, provoking questions about what archives are and where their conceptual, geographical and chronological boundaries lie. Examining a wide selection of source material including government papers, censuses, petitions and case files, this book will be essential reading for students of imperial and colonial history.
