FCO 141 — Records of former colonial administrations: migrated archives (Ceylon material)

Editorial gloss

TNA catalogue record for the FCO 141 series — the migrated archives released following the Hanslope disclosure (Cary Report 2011). The series contains Ceylon-related administrative, security and political files from the late-colonial and transfer-of-power period. As of the current era a structured Ceylon-specific finding aid comparable to the Kenya or Cyprus consolidations is not yet in the public domain. TLTE cites this gap as a deliverable ask — not as a claim of suppression. Researchers can request individual files via the standard TNA reading-room procedure.
