Papers of Thomas Perronet Thompson relating to Sierra Leone
Collection: Indigenous Cultures and Christian Conversion in Ghana and Sierra Leone, 1700–1850 Volumes Papers of Thomas Perronet Thompson relating to Sierra Leone
The son of a wealthy Hull banker, Thompson served in the army and navy. Partly as a result of his connection with William Wilberforce, the influential anti-slavery campaigner, he was appointed governor of the colony in Sierra Leone in 1808, the year after the abolition of the slave trade across the British empire. Thompson's zeal in enforcing the new law appears to have contributed to the termination of this appointment.

Whilst we try our best to extract as much usable and searchable as possible, our primary resource collections have varying levels of available metadata and searchable OCR'd text depending on the nature of the document; please bear this in mind when searching, especially when looking for older resources. We recommend trying the following:
- Try a different combination of terms and queries to try and match your result.
- Use 'themes' or 'subjects' directly in your search query, e.g. "19th century colonial administration Africa" - 'Africa' being the broad subject.
- Use a broader search and use the filters on the left-hand side to refine your results.
