ABSTRACT
Antoinette Burton's views on the male-controlled archives of British colonial and mission institutions are relevant however, and the quotes from letters of a senior British administrator, this chapter provides insight to the administrative mind in the 1930s. Access to CMS archives in Britain in the 1980s and 1990s, however, do not fit the general rule, for the archivist Rosemary Keen and librarian Jean Woods were concerned to give assistance to all scholars. Looking at the ideology of the British colonial system, Martin Chanock has made a different assessment. While there has been much scholarship on heirship and succession, and more recently on disruptions to customary procedures and politics in Buganda's history, the chapter refers to the specific viewpoint of Christian women. The analysis of the 1931 Mothers' Union protest has thus far focused on a small group of women and their actions and statements who were actively and publicly involved in issues that closely affected their own lives.
