Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information Gazetteers of British India Online, 1833–1962 (GBIO) is a comprehensive digital collection documenting the Indian subcontinent during the British colonial period. Based on Brill’s microfiche collection, the resource brings together more than 1,200 volumes and approximately 400,000 pages of statistical and descriptive information on the region, providing extensive coverage of ist geography, history, economy, administration, and society. The collection includes the Imperial Gazetteer of India, including the 1881, 1885–1887, and revised 1909 editions, as well as the Provincial Series (1908–1909) and the District Series. Together, these publications provide detailed information on provinces, districts, towns, and regions, covering topics such as agriculture, livestock, manufacturing, trade, population and migration, religion, language, education, and crime. GBI provides a valuable resource for research in South Asian and Asian Studies, modern and colonial history, social and economic history, religion, language and culture, and education. The digitized collection consists of fully text-searchable PDFs, complemented by metadata and MARC records, making this extensive body of historical material accessible for researchers across disciplines and for different levels of study. This collection of Indian gazetteers of the British colonial period contains the two editions of the series. The Imperial Gazetteer edited by W.W. Hunter (1881 and 1885-87 respectively), as well as the revised edition of 1909, which also covers the description (physical, meteorological, human), history, economy, and administration of the entire sub-continent. A parallel series consisting of gazetteers for each province, the Provincial Series (1908-1909), is also included in the collection, along with a District Series (1903-1914) for the districts within each province. A newly developed list of content provides a quick overview of available gazetteers by edition (Imperial), province (Provincial Series) and district (District Series):
