Provincial government of Sumatra

Description

Established as a consequence of the ‘Bestuurshervorming’ in the buitengewesten. As a result, the gewest Atjeh en Onderhoorigheden is no longer led by a Gouverneur but by a Resident, with a gewestelijk Secretaris, an Assistent-Resident ter beschikking (also administrator of the landschapkassen), and a Controleur ter beschikking.

Significance

Gouvernement Sumatra is recorded by Jongejan as part of the institutional landscape of Aceh.
