Nyasaland: Department of Public Relations
Nyasaland
Department of Public Relations
The Department of Public Relations (Public Relations Office) was established in February 1949. The purpose of the department was to interpret the policy of the Government to the people of the protectorate; to act in an advisory and co-ordinating capacity for distributing information on the various development schemes; to keep in touch with public opinion and publicise the affairs of the Protectorate in Great Britain.
The African Book Centre was also created in 1949 as an agency of the Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland Publications Bureau, distributing and selling publications of the bureau.
In July 1954, a general reorganisation of information services was undertaken in Nyasaland following the establishment of the Federal Information Department in Salisbury, Southern Rhodesia.

Bulawayo
The British Empire Service League (BESL) was originally formed in Rhodesia in 1918 as Comrades of the Great War. The BESL was also present in Northern Rhodesia and Nyasaland. The league, established by Lord Haig in the Dominions, was a counterpart of the Royal British Legion that was established in 1921 to support Service men and women, ex-serving personnel and their families.

Aerogrammes of British Central Africa
Aerogrammes of British Central Africa
This listing will deal with the special printed forms used in the three countries of British Central Africa as a means of providing an inexpensive air mail service using a custom designed air letter form. It is not confined to postal stationery (that is stationery produced bearing an imprinted valid postage stamp and sold by or on behalf of a postal authority) but will include air letter sheets and aerogrammes issued without an imprinted stamp, provided there is evidence of the use of that form of air letter sheet or aerogrammes in one or more of the countries.
As and when new information is received the relevant chapters will be updated and republished. Please note that this could involve the renumbering of the items within a chapter. Be sure to always use the latest update, which will be dated.
If you would like to contribute any information, please Contact Us.
