Operation Legacy information


Operation Legacy was a British Colonial Office (later Foreign Office) programme to destroy or hide files that would implicate the British Empire in wrongdoing, as to prevent them from being used by their ex-colonies.[1][2][3] It ran from the 1950s until the 1970s, when the decolonisation of the British Empire was at its height.[4]
