| Summary: | In this paper the author scans the registers of correspondence relating to
Brunei (1906–34) held in the National Archives at Kew. An annotated
checklist of documents is provided. It is concluded that useful data can be
yielded; and that, in a case such as Brunei, where documentation is in short

raises issues about the preservation of historical records. Suggestions for
further research are provided. |
