New trial – Confidential Print: North America, 1824-1961

Trial available until 19th October 2009.

The Confidential Print series, issued by the Foreign and Colonial Offices since c1820, is one of the most important series produced by the British Government.

The series originated out of a need for the Government to preserve all of the most important papers generated by the Foreign and Colonial Offices. Some of these were one page letters or telegrams – others were large volumes or texts of treaties. All items marked ‘Confidential Print’ were printed and circulated immediately to leading officials in the Foreign Office, to the Cabinet, and to Heads of British missions abroad.
