British Cabinet Papers 1915 - 1978

The library now has electronic access to the Cabinet Papers for 1915 – 1978 provided by the National Archives.

They contain a core collection of over half a million government records covering the years 1915-1978. All of the records are fully searchable as scanned PDFs but can also be browsed by thematic and historical overviews covering three main themes of British Governance in the 20th century:

The United Kingdom and the world
The economy, business and resources, and
Society and the Welfare State

The National Archives plan to add to the collection in the future by releasing and digitising more papers as they become available for release to the public.

The catalogue link can be found here

The library also currently provides a microfilm run of earlier cabinet papers for the years 1880-1916 which can be found here
