- Title:
- Governor General: Administration of the North West Provinces
- Scope & Content:
-
The position of Lieutenant Governor of the North West Provinces was held by John Russell Colvin from 7 Nov 1853 until his death on 9 Sep 1857; Edward A. Reade was in acting charge from 10-30 Sep 1857; Colonel Hugh Fraser held the position from 30 Sep 1857 until 9 Feb 1858.
The Governor General moved the seat of Government from Calcutta to Allahabad in Jan 1858, and as a result was closer to the military operations of the Commander in Chief Sir Colin Campbell [Lord Clyde] in Oudh. The North West Provinces were therefore directly administered by Charles Canning for the period 9 Feb 1858 to 19 Jan 1859, until the appointment of Sir George Edmonstone.
Three volumes survive from the period of Canning's governance:
1. Register of Letters Received, 1858-1859
2. Index to the Register of Letters Received, 1858-1859
3. Register to Papers on Miscellaneous Subjects, 1858-1859.
The papers referred to in the Registers and Index volumes relating to the Administration of the North West Provinces have not survived.
