Select Bibliography

I PRIMARY SOURCES

The Inchcape Archives, at the time of writing located at the Group's LondonHead Officeat 40 St Mary Axe, London EC3A 8EU. were the principal primarysource for this study. The vast majority of these records have never previouslybeen consulted by historians. In addition to the corporate and financial materialusually preserved as a matter ofcourse by most companies, these archives, whichrelate to over 100 separate businesses, include a particularly rich collection ofnotebooks, correspondence, contemporary memoirs and photographs.

The inevitable gaps due to the inconsistent survival ofdocumentation and theimbalance between the different companies in this respect was partially.madegood from a variety of other sources. The BI- P & 0 Collection held by theNational Maritime Museum at Greenwich and Woolwich includes muchinformative correspondence relating to the firms who acted as agents for theselines. The Zanzibar National Archives, which were consulted with the kindpermission of the Ministry of Education, Culture and Sport, added significantlyto the story of Smith Mackenzie & Co. in Chapter 4.

Other primary material to which reference has been made includes commer­cial directories and almanacs, many ofwhich are preserved in the British Libraryand the Institute of Historical Research of the University of London.
