The East India Company

This site, sponsored by the modern East India Company, includes a company history area, which traces its development from 1600 to the present. For the student, this section would be the most helpful; other sections show the company as an ongoing contemporary concern. These include The Gazetteer, with company news and press releases; The Company, which outlines the modern commercial enterprise; Trading Opportunities, which welcomes inquiries concerning partnerships; and Products, which lists consumer-oriented items the company markets. Students could make interesting connections and comparisons with the historical role of the company in English history.
