- Summary:
- This collection looks at records related to refugee matters before, during, and after the Second World War as they affected departments outside of the Foreign Office. In particular, researchers will discover the unique role played by such divisions as the Colonial Office, Home Office, and War Office in response to the refugee crises. These materials shed light on the global nature of the history of forced migration in this period, with a special emphasis on the extraction of refugees from and resettlement of refugees to British territories during and just after the war.
