Calibrated glimpses into British colonial governance and trade, with carefully abridged documents you can trust. This volume surveys the American and West Indian colonies through the lens of official correspondence, minutes, and government papers. It emphasizes how Georgia’s records are treated within a wider colonial archive, and explains the principles behind calendaring, abstracting, and indexing.

The edition collects 662 principal abstracts drawn from governors, the Commissioners of Trade and Plantations, and other colonial officials. It includes newly added material like naval shipping lists and previously omitted items, while clearly demarcating what is omitted or abridged. Readers will see how the editors present original documents in modern spelling and form while preserving substance for researchers and students.
