Revolutionary Emancipation: Slavery and Abolitionism in the British West Indies

SELECTED BIBLOGRAPHY

253 SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY Primary Sources This study relied heavily on manuscripts and other archival sources in the United Kingdom and Trinidad and Tobago. Archival sources in France provided valuable insights into the revolutionary 1790s in the Caribbean. In the United Kingdom the Public Record Office, British Library, Colindale Newspaper Library, Lambeth Palace, School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) at the University of London, Bodleian Library, and Rhodes House Library were all invaluable in allowing me to develop the revisionist approach taken in the study. The Main Library of the St. Augustine Campus of the University of the West Indies has built up an impressive collection of duplicate archival sources and was also useful in providing extensive material about the nineteenth century. The National Archives of Trinidad and Tobago also has a wealth of sources on the early nineteenth century, although many volumes are plagued with mere fragments of documents.
