"The Confidential Print comprises diplomatic dispatches and other papers that, with dates varying from country to country but in general beginning in the 1850s, were printed for limited circulation within the British government.

As its name indicates, the Confidential Print was not available to the public because it included sensitive information."A list of series with brief descriptions is available, but run a title search in Franklin for: British Documents on Foreign Affairs: Reports and Papers from the Foreign Office Confidential Print to identify locations.

Blue Books are annual reports of the British colonies. Colonial regulations issued in 1843 state:"The Annual Blue Book containing accounts of the Civil Establishment, of the Colonial Revenue and Expenditure and of various statistical particulars, etc. ... must be filled up with the greatest possible accuracy and the Statistical Tables must be full and complete."
