Sources and Methods in Histories of Colonialism encourages readers to think more critically and analytically about the archives in which they work as well as about their research methods, their sources and their conceptual approaches. This volume provides an in-depth and critical survey of the now substantial and influential scholarly literatures on the functions and scope of the 'imperial archive' and on the relationships between the archive, knowledge and power. It allows readers to develop a deeper understanding of the challenges of working with a range of specific source genres within imperial and colonial archives. It explores the ways in which newer approaches to, and ways of thinking about, the past have challenged more traditional views of 'the archive', provoking new questions about what archives are and where their conceptual, geographical and chronological boundaries might lie. And, it assesses the implications of these shifts for those interested in researching and writing about colonial and postcolonial societies. Focusing on the period from the late eighteenth century to the present, the authors examine issues, themes and case studies pertaining to a broad range of modern empires including those established by Britain, France, the Netherlands, Spain and the United States. The source genres discussed illustrate and exemplify a range of core themes and debates regarding the writing of colonial and postcolonial histories, covering a range of subjects including government papers, censuses, petitions, case-files, and orality. Many of the chapters combine an overview of the current state of research and writing about a particular source genre or conceptual theme with a case study. This combination of overview and case study will enable readers to explore and examine the issues in a grounded, hands-on and applied fashion.

India and the subcontinent stimulated the curiosity of the British who came to India as traders. Each aspect of life in India - its people, customs, geography, climate, fauna and flora - was documented by British travelers, traders, administrators, soldiers to make sense to the European mind. As they 'discovered' India and occupied it, they also attempted to 'civilise' the natives. The present volumes focus on select aspects of the imperial archives: the accounts of “discovery” and exploration – fauna and flora, geography, climate – the people of the subcontinent, English domesticity and social life in the subcontinent, the wars and skirmishes – including the “Mutiny” of 1857-58 – and the “civilisational mission”. Volume 1 'Discoveries', Explorations and the Imperial Survey consists of documents that deal with England's discovery of India, its exploration and mapping of the subcontinent. The texts collected here are accounts of how the British 'discovered' the subcontinent. The narrative of discovery, with the freshness of the 'new', was couched very often in the rhetoric of wonder. But this sense of wonder, even astonishment in some cases at the variety, magnitude and sheer difference of the land and its people, was tempered over time with a narrative of exploration. If the 'discovery' moment had a surprise, awe and a sense of uncertainty at facing something totally new-which, in many ways, the subcontinent was-in the early writings of the seventeenth century, the tone, emphasis and attitude shifts later on.

India and the subcontinent stimulated the curiosity of the British who came to India as traders. Each aspect of life in India-its people, customs, geography, climate, flora and fauna-was documented by British travellers, traders, administrators and soldiers to make sense to the European mind. As they 'discovered' India and occupied it, they also attempted to 'civilise' the natives. The present volumes focus on select aspects of the imperial archives: the accounts of 'discovery' and exploration-flora and fauna, geography, climate; the people of the subcontinent; English domesticity and social life in the subcontinent; the wars and skirmishes-including the 'Mutiny' of 1857–1858; and the 'civilisational mission'. Volume 1, 'Discoveries', Explorations and the Imperial Survey, consists of documents that deal with England's discovery of India, its exploration and mapping of the subcontinent. Volume 2, Indian People and Society, includes English studies of Indian languages, people and communities, and the social order. Volume 3, Domesticity, the Social Scene and Leisure, shifts the focus to the English home and social life. Volume 4, Rebellions and Wars, is a collection of accounts of a very different British life in India: as prisoners, under siege and in conditions of war. Volume 5, The 'Civilisational Mission', documents England's social reform and other efforts at 'improving' the colonised. Volume 6, Thugs and Dacoits, documents how the practice of thugee was viewed by the British: as if it symbolised everything that was wrong with the social order in India. These six volumes are a treasure trove of original documents that throw light on the process of colonisation and its contexts, and provide a glimpse into the mind of the colonisers.

Volume 5 The 'Civilisational Mission' documents England's social reform and other efforts at 'improving' the colonised. The British, like other Europeans in Africa and Asian colonies, explained, defended and promoted their presence and action by presenting themselves in the role of the civilisers.

Inexplicable disappearances have plagued a province in the eastern Empire for almost a quarter of a century; occurring at maddeningly regular intervals, but neither a clue nor a reason have ever been found to explain anything. A mysterious and unknown city and a shadowy figure may reveal the motive behind the disappearances, but can Claudius unravel the secret before it threatens the existence of the Empire?

Volume 2 Indian People and Society includes English studies of Indian languages, people and communities, and the social order. The landscape provided, understandably, endless prospects of the survey and the map. But the British were also keen on documenting the people. In the studies generated for 400 years, the British documented castes, religions, education, economies, professions, cultural practices, states of health and sickness, and other domains. With projects like the Census and the People of India, the land's inhabitants were classified and, eventually, also typecast and contributed to the colonial discourse about the native/colonised.
