Produced monthly from January 1905, quarterly from c. 1919 and half-yearly from 1941, the lists contain the names of all Sudan Government employees, both British and Sudanese. The Sudan Archive holds copies from 1914-1963. They are useful for tracking the careers of personnel in the Sudan Political Service as well as the technical services such as Sudan Government Railways Service, the Medical Service and the Education Department. Although incomplete, this set of staff lists gives fairly comprehensive coverage from the First World War in 1914 to the end of the Condominium in 1956, as well as the first few years of independence.
