Emory has just licensed access to the India, Raj, and Empire online collection of manuscripts from the National Library of Scotland documenting the history of British in India from the foundation of the East India Company in 1615 to the granting of independence for India and Pakistan in 1947.  Sources include papers of key East India Company representatives and colonial officials as well as records of daily life in Agra, Bombay, Lahore, and Madras.
