Hildegarde Beatrice Hinde (née Ginsburg) was the wife of Sidney Langford Hinde (1863-1930), whom she married in 1897. Sidney Hinde served in the Congo, 1891-1894, and was a medical and administrative officer in the East African Protectorate (Kenya), 1895-1915. Hildegarde Hinde was the author of 'Some problems of East Africa' (London, 1926) and, with her husband, 'The last of the Masai' (London 1901). She died on 20 February 1959, aged 88.
The principal part of the collection is a set of thirteen scrapbooks of newscuttings relating to East Africa, particularly Kenya and Tanganyika. The rest of the collection consists of a volume of cuttings relating to post-war trading opportunities in Nigeria and three scrapbooks concerning rubber and mining in South East Asia.
