Description: CO 531 Colonial Office correspondence relating to North Borneo (now Sabah) is found in CO 531. It should be used in conjunction with the papers of the North Borneo Company (CO 874), generally a far richer source of information about this territory. CO 874 contains papers of the North Borneo Company rather than correspondence generated by officials of the British government. It should be used in conjunction with CO 144 and CO 531, the Colonial Office correspondence on North Borneo. CO 938 contains post-war correspondence relating to Sarawak. CO 947 contains submissions to the Cobbold Commission from various groups regarding the future status of the territories of northern Borneo which ultimately became East Malaysia. CO 954 deals with affairs in North Borneo and Sarawak after the Japanese Occupation.
