Title: The Sudan Archive
Dates of creation: c. 1880 onwards
Extent: 1076 boxes of papers, over 57,000 photographs, 136 cinefilms, 1,000 maps, museum objects and a large amount of related printed material.
Held by: Durham University Library, Archives and Special Collections
The Sudan Archive was founded in 1957, the year after Sudanese independence, to collect and preserve the papers of administrators from the Sudan Political Service, missionaries, soldiers, business men, doctors, agriculturalists, teachers and
others who had served or lived in the Sudan during the Anglo-Egyptian Condominium. It comprises over 360 individual collections of official, semi-official and private papers of British men and women. Each collection is named after the donor who is
usually the creator of the records. The collections vary in size from one file to 180 boxes. All levels of colonial society are represented, from Assistant District Commissioner to Governor-General and senior officers of government, as well as from
the technical and medical services, the army and the church. The core period covered is 1898-1955, but there is a significant amount of Mahdist material as well as papers relating to the military campaigns of the 1880s and 1890s, while in recent
years the scope of the Archive has extended to the period after independence and now contains material up to the present day. Moreover, as officials were frequently seconded or posted to neighbouring countries, or simply passed through them on
leave, the Archive also holds substantial numbers of papers relating to Egypt, the Arabian Peninsula, Palestine, Transjordan, Syria and African states bordering on the Sudan.
In addition to official and personal papers (correspondence, reports and memoranda, trek notes and diaries, letters home and so on), collections may include a variety of records in other formats such as photographic images (prints, lantern slides
and 35mm slides), cinefilms from the 1920s to the 1960s, sound recordings, maps, museum objects and a large amount of related printed material. Most of the material is in English, with a small amount in Arabic. There is a separate
catalogue of Arabic manuscripts and lithographs.
The material is open for consultation, with the exception of a small number of files containing personal or sensitive material, which have been closed for a specified period.
Permission to make any published use of material from the collection must be sought in advance from the Head of Heritage Collections, Special Collections (e-mail PG.Library@durham.ac.uk) and, where appropriate, from the copyright owner. The
Library will assist where possible with identifying copyright owners, but responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material.
Trace amounts of the insecticides DDT, Dieldrin and Lindane were discovered in the collection in August 2023. In order to minimise the risk of exposure researchers accessing the physical collection are required to wear disposable nitrile gloves
and to refrain from touching the face, eyes or mouth whilst handling the records, and to and wash hands thoroughly with soap once finished.
Separate catalogues exist for all the collections, approximately three-quarters of which are online. The following have been published and can be ordered by post:
Summary guide to the Sudan Archive,
containing a brief description of each of the collections, price £5
Volume one of the
Catalogue of the papers of General Sir Reginald Wingate (1861-1953), covering domestic Sudanese affairs from 1883 to 1916, price £10. (Also available
online)
46,000 of the Archive's photographic images are available on a database, linked to catalogue entries, which is accessible only in Durham. Freetext and keyword searching of the database is possible.
An integrated list of maps in the Africa 1:250,000 series for the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan is available. All other maps, including hand-drawn military maps from the 19th century campaigns, are described in the lists of the appropriate individual
collections and all printed maps appear in the Library catalogue. There is also a brief integrated
list of the museum
objects.
A growing amount of printed material, chiefly official publications, is being digitised and can be accessed from
http://www.dur.ac.uk/library/asc/sudan/.
The Sudan “grey” literature collection, which is housed with the Archive in the Palace Green Section of the Library, consists of reports, pamphlets, periodicals and offprints on a wide variety of subjects such as climatology, botany, medicine,
women, irrigation, archaeology, railways, education, missions, as well as reports of government departments, university calendars and statistics, directories of government employees, etc. Series of journals include
The Sudan Government Gazette (1899-1955),
Egypt and the Sudan Diocesan Review (1924-1944) and
The Diocesan Review (1949-1973). Catalogue entries for this
material are incorporated in the Library's catalogue.

Wood (from 1884) and then as Assistant Military Secretary to Sir Francis Grenfell (from 1886), Assistant Adjutant General Recruiting (also 1886), Assistant Adjutant General Intelligence (from 1887) and finally as Director of Military Intelligence
(from 1889). Papers from 1883-1885 are chiefly concerned with the movement of men and supplies in support of the Anglo-Egyptian force. From 1889 the papers increase in volume and cover Wingate's intelligence gathering activities in the Frontier
District; the campaign against al-Najūmī and the Battle at Tushki (1889); arrangements for the escape of European prisoners held at Omdurman; the “frontier incident” of 1894; Wingate's brief service as Governor of the Red Sea Littoral and Commandant

there are numerous references to Emin Pasha and Stanley and affairs in Abyssinia, Uganda, Egypt and Somaliland.
Papers relating to Wingate's Sudan career, 1899-1916Papers covering the short period of Kitchener's Governor-Generalship and the death of the Khalīfah, 1899; and Wingate's service as Governor-General of the Sudan

reports, memoranda, maps, newspaper cuttings etc., most of which are itemised in the catalogue of the Wingate Papers. Among the subjects covered are the following: the capture of `Uthmān Diqnah (1900); the rebuilding of Khartoum; the development of
a civil administration, both in Khartoum and the provinces; the control of missionary work; the establishment of Gordon College; tribal disturbances and punitive patrols; securing of frontiers, particularly between the Sudan and Abyssinia;

repercussions of the First World War; and the 1916 campaign against `Alī Dīnār. There are numerous references to affairs in Sinai, Somaliland, Abyssinia, Uganda and Yemen.
IrrigationPapers relating to irrigation in the Sudan and Egypt. These include correspondence, telegrams and reports on Dongola Province basin cultivation, the Gezira irrigation scheme, cotton growing at Tokar, and
Nile control. These topics are also covered in more general terms in the sections containing material from Wingate's career in the Sudan and Egypt.
The Darfur Campaign, 1916Papers relating to the military campaign against `Alī Dīnār, last Sultan of Darfur, including correspondence, reports etc. on deteriorating relations between the Sultan and the Sudan
Government, transport and communications problems facing the convoy, the capture of El Fasher and death of `Alī Dīnār in November 1916

for the Abyssinian boundary.
Papers relating to Wingate's career in Egypt, 1917-1919Papers concerning Egyptian affairs from 1913 and more particularly Wingate's High Commissionership, 1916-1919. The papers cover all aspects of Egyptian
administration. In addition there is a great deal of material on the progress of the war in the Middle East and of the Arab revolt, the crisis of 1919 and the Milner Commission.
Egyptian SultanatePapers relating to the Egyptian Sultanate, consisting chiefly of correspondence between Wingate and the Khedive `Abbās Ḥilmī (1900-1914) and between Wingate and the Sultan Ḥusayn Kāmil
