IOR/G: East India Company Factory Records (1608-1858). A 'factory' was a trading post where a number of merchants, or factors, resided. When company ships arrived at the factories, ships' merchants were thus enabled to exchange goods for trading immediately instead of having to wait to make deals with local merchants. Factories were run by a chief factor and a council of factors. The 'Factory Records' is an artificially-created sub-fonds; the records of individual Company factories consist mainly of consultations (records of administrative decisions and of correspondence), diaries (records of daily activities), letters received, copies of letters sent and collections of papers on particular subjects.;Sir Thomas Roe's embassy (1616); the Danish factory at Balasore (1676); the Tanka for a fleet to protect the trade of Surat (1759); Henry Oxinden's journey to the court of Sivaji (1674); the jaghir of the Governor of Surat Castle (1759); the English annexation of Saldana Bay (1620).
