Notice biographique

Sabah, previously British North Borneo, joined with Sarawak, Singapore and Malaya to form the Federation of Malaysia in 1963.

Histoire archivistique

The Commonwealth Political Parties Materials collection was begun in 1960-61, with special emphasis being placed then, as now, on "primary material such as party constitutions, policy statements, convention reports and election manifestos." (ICS, Twelfth Annual Report 1960-1961). Since then, the main method of gathering material has been to appeal directly to political parties throughout the Commonwealth, though contributions from Institute members and staff following visits to relevant countries have been significant.

Institute of Commonwealth Studies

Constitutions, memoranda, newsletters and pamphlets, 1961-1970, issued by the National Unity Party (Sabah), the Sabah Alliance Party, the Society of Kadazans, the United National Kadazan Organisation and the United Sabah National Organisation. The majority of the materials held here date from the period just prior to independence and federation and originate from newly formed parties debating the benefits of both for Sabah in the context of a fear of excessive Chinese or Malay influence.
