Reference: IOR/C
Title: Council of India
Date: 1858-1947
Description: The main series, the Council Minutes running from 1858 to 1937, continues as the Minutes of the Advisers to the Secretary of State up to 1947. Since these minutes only record the work of the Council and the Advisers in a summary fashion, it is necessary to consult the archives of the main India Office departments - their Home Correspondence, Correspondence with India, and Departmental Papers - in order to secure the full documentation on the subjects mentioned. In general, the various committees of the Council did not keep separate minutes: for the few surviving examples, see L/MIL/1; L/PWD/5/ & L/PWD/7; and L/PS/1. IOR: C also includes other records connected with the Council's activities, notably Minutes of Dissent by Members (two series, 1858-1935), and a collection of printed Memoranda prepared by Members, India Office officials etc to elucidate particular aspects of the India administration, foreign relations and other subjects.
