TitleJ G Wallace papers
Reference codeICS111
Date1928-c1959
Scope and ContentRough draft of a history of British Law in Northern Nigeria, 1948-1959; and research papers and partial drafts of a history of Benue Province, Nigeria, c1959. The latter include copies of works by others, and of official administrative correspondence and reports, c1928-1959. The two works were originally intended as two volumes of one work; however, the volume on legislation having been completed more readily than that on Benue, Wallace intended to publish it separately. However, there is no evidence that either progressed beyond the state in which these drafts and notes were found.

System of ArrangementPapers for the two works have been treated as separate series. The drafts for the history of British Law in Northern Nigeria have been retained in original folders or files for each chapter or group of chapters, and arranged in the intended order according to a plan of the work and a draft contents list. The papers for the history of Benue were in one large bundle and the order within this has been retained, with each folder or item being described as a separate component.
