Diaries of a Kafue district official

One great thing about sharing an interest online is the people one gets to hear from. Recently I heard from Alasdair Sutter, who has a rare thing in his possession - diaries belonging to an early official in the colonial days of Northern Rhodesia, Alexander Collie Anderson, who was posted to the Mumbwa and Kafue areas from 1902-1908. Based on my Kerswell book we believe Alexander Anderson must have died before 1913.

Kudos to Alasdair for mounting a great effort to make these materials available to more people, which involves a lot of hand transcribing and scanning. You can have a look at his progress here:

We have found some records to the author online at the National Archives, and elsewhere. Any help in locating his campsite would be welcomed!

Names Alasdair has found so far are given below. You can see fuller details here.

Places include Dundee, Glasgow, Lockerbie, Dalkieth (Scotland), Delville (Ireland), London, Australia, Bulawayo, Barotseland, Tanganyika, Kasempa, Wankie,  San Francisco, Mwenga,  Nkala, Nambala, and Livingstone.
