Abstract:These archives, which are now in the possession of the Ministry of the Interior, form a collection of thousands of documents, written almost entirely in Arabic, illustrating every aspect of the political and administrative history of the Sudan between 1885 and 1898. The author shows briefly how this collection was acquired, describes the principal classes of documents which its contains and gives an example of the way in which they may be used in order to increase our knowledge of this critically important period of Sudanese history.
