- Title:
- Selection of Records from the Office of the Secretary, Southern Provinces, Nigeria [1930s-1940s]
- Scope & Content:
- This fonds contains digital surrogates of a selection of the Intelligence Reports and associated correspondence accumulated by the Office of the Secretary of the Southern Provinces in Nigeria in the course of its administrative business. The Intelligence Reports were prepared by District Officers or Assistant District Officers on the instruction of Provincial administrators ('Residents'), and were used to inform policy making and decisions about local administrative structures. The reports would circulate between the offices of the District Officers, the Resident and the Secretary for the Provinces, accumulating comments, memorandums and additional supporting material, and were ultimately retained by the Office of the Secretary. The three files selected for digitisation contain Intelligence Reports and supporting material about the Obowo and Ihitte Clans of Okigewe Division, Owerri Province, and the Ekwerazu and Ahiara Clans of Owerri Province.

- User Conditions:
- Access is for research purposes only
- Custodial History:
- Digital surrogates in this collection were created as part of the project EAP052 Rescuing Eastern Nigerian history: preserving the holdings of Enugu and Calabar regional archives. The original files were accumulated by the Office of the Secretary of the Southern Provinces, before deposit at the National Archives of Enugu. In 1952 several files were removed from the archive and sent to the newly constituted Ministry of Local Government under the understanding that they might have renewed relevance as current files; these were subsequently returned to the National Archives and given a reference indicating their position within the records of the Ministry of Local Government for Enugu. These references are recorded in the Former External Reference field at file level.

- Administrative Context:
- EAP052 Rescuing Eastern Nigerian history: preserving the holdings of Enugu and Calabar regional archives was funded by the Endangered Archives Programme. The Intelligence Reports and related correspondence which constitute this fonds were accumulated by the Office of the Secretary of the Southern Provinces of Nigeria in the execution of its administrative duties. Intelligence Reports, alongside Assessment Reports, Organisational Reports and Anthropological Reports were compiled by the District Officers in charge of local Divisions, on the instruction of the Residents who administered the Provinces. These reports would circulate between District Officers, Residents and the Secretary of the Provinces, accumulating comments, memorandums and additional supporting material. Reports were ultimately retained by the Office of the Secretary.
