The National Archives admitted it was presenting a view of Britain’s colonial history without “due impartiality” after it was accused by a retired history lecturer of anti-British bias in an exhibition at its Keeper’s Gallery, where it introduces visitors to historic moments covered by its 11 million records.
The archive, based in Kew in west London, at first rejected a complaint by Tony Adler about a description of British colonialism as “profoundly oppressive” but agreed to reword the display after he appealed to the organisation’s chief executive.
