Reference codePP.RH
Date1957-1962
Scope and ContentPlatforms, statements, letters, newsletters, constitutions, speeches, addresses and broadcasts issued by the Central Africa Party, the Constitution Party (Rhodesia and Nyasaland) and the United Federal Party.
NotesBetween 1953 and 1963 Southern Rhodesia, Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland formed a nominally self-governing Federation, which was eventually terminated prior to the independence of the latter two territories as Zambia and Malawi. Given the restrictions on African electoral participation the government of the Federation was effectively dominated by white parties, with the United Federal Party under first Godfrey Huggins and later Roy Welensky in power throughout this period.
Only material produced by a federal party during the existence of the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland has been included in this collection.
