The Council, under the direction of the East India Company, functioned as the executive and judicial authority on the Island until 1834 when it became a crown colony. The records continue until 1836, the year prior to the arrival of the first crown apppointed governor.

Early consultations include minutes of court sessions, passenger lists, and census lists. Later consultations include muster rolls, court martials, account statements, tax lists, leases, correspondence, wills, proclamations, etc. After 1824 the consultations are divided by subject.

Vols. from 1678-1719 and 1806-1836 are individually indexed. Separate indexes filmed at the end of the series cover vols. from 1772-1792.
