Contents
The archives hold a substantial and unique collection of material, 19 volumes or approximately 2 running metres, which relates to the time Joseph Stephens spent in India as a contractor at the building of the Great Indian Peninsula Railway (G.I.P.R.) in the 1860s. Apparently, it is largely intact and contains railway contracts, pay sheets for Indian workers, and correspondence (even outgoing letter copies are preserved). Some of the material is written in Hindi (contracts and accounts).
