Retrieved 17 April 2021. The Barbadian (1822-1863). The newspaper covers the transition from the colonial, pre-modern to the modern era, including the Emancipation (1834), and the end of the apprenticeship system (1838). It is an important resource for understanding Barbados' early 19th century history, and by extension, British colonial history.
