Colonial Office Visual Instruction Committee
(Redirected from COVIC)
The Colonial Office Visual Instruction Committee (COVIC) was a scheme by the British Colonial Office to publish lantern-slide lectures about the British Empire. Established in 1902, COVIC was discontinued after World War I,[1] though COVIC photographs continued to circulate in school classrooms until 1945.[2][3]
Papers relating to COVIC are held at Cambridge University Library.[4]
