内容説明・目次

内容説明

Britain had an immensely important role to play in the international arena during the period 1945-65; newly independent states emerged in Asia as Britain retreated from Empire. This electronic collection gathers together documents from the Public Record Office's archive of British government records relating to Asia during this period. The four CD-ROMs give scholars across the world access to a searchable set of primary historical sources on diplomatic and economic policy-making. The package contains over 40,000 pages of documents as digital facsimiles - giving the added value of access to contemporary annotations - while being linked to fully searchable indices. These documents represent an overview of UK policy on the whole of Asia during this period, they also include diplomatic correspondence which highlights the policy and activities of other Powers - for example, the USA during the occupation of Japan. The result is an archive which historians and researchers everywhere should find valuable and easy to use. The machine specification the CD-ROMs require are Windows 3.1, 80486 66 Mhz minimum processor, 8 Mb RAM and 10Mb hard disk space.
