Part I comprises approximately 500,000 pages of acts, ordinances, and proclamations that were enacted between 1900 and 1989 from across the British Empire. This period ushered in a new era of further industrialization and politicization of colonial territories and saw the decolonization of many British dominions and territories. During the twentieth century laws were passed on all aspects of colonial life and business, including those that attempted to control immigration, plan for post-independence economic growth, introduce greater control over the activities and lands of indigenous peoples, reaffirm the abolition of slavery, regulate working conditions and unions, and enfranchise greater swathes of the population, including women.
