The files detail British colonial administration and intelligence gathering. They comprise a wide variety of papers received from the Government of India Foreign Department and other sources in India, and from the Foreign Office in London, together with India Office-generated minuting, comment and replies.
Strict rules of custody meant that the printed matter, held and consulted at other locations that the India Office, periodically had to be destroyed. The full runs of such print at the OIOC/Asia, Pacific and Africa Collections of the British Library constitute a range of documentation that is not equaled anywhere else. Close to all items in the series were classified secret, confidential, restricted or for official use only.
