In October 1923, following a new constitution, Southern Rhodesia became a self-governing British colony. While the colony was self-governing and technically could draft its own legislation it was still subject to supervision. This collection allows you to explore this in more detail. The collection compromises of over 90,000 pages of progress reports written by various government departments in Zimbabwe. - Publisher
