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

Access on and off-campus

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.
