Soft cover. Etat : New. 1st Edition. [15], 176 pages ; 23 cm. 'Preface It was a student of Professor John Fairbank who, while working on the papers of John Swire & Sons in the basement of the firm's former offices, first suggested that this extremely valuable collection should be deposited in a library to ensure its preservation and so that it would in future be more easily available to bona fide scholars. When Professor Fairbank took up the idea he wrote to Mr John Swire and myself suggesting that the SOAS Library, then just moved into its new building, might be a suitable depository. Dr Christopher Howe, the Head of the Contemporary China Institute, and I subsequently discussed the idea with Mr Swire himself and the deposit was finally agreed and the papers placed in the Library in 1975. John Swire & Sons generously agreed to provide money for the compilation and publication of a full calendar of the deposited records and we were fortunate enough to be able to secure the services of Mrs Elizabeth Hook to carry out the work. (The Library also gratefully ack- nowledges a subvention from the Publications Committee of the School of Oriental and African Studies towards the publication of this guide.) The papers may be consulted by members of the Library under the rules currently in force, but it should be noted that certain sections of the archive are closed and not available for a number of years: these are clearly indicated in Mrs Hook's guide. Persons intending to consult the archive should in the first instance read carefully the introduction to this guide and then write for permisssion to the Librarian, School of Oriental and African Studies, specifying the sections they wish to consult and for approximately how long. Photographic copies of selected sections of the archive may be made but it is not the intention at present to arrange or to permit photographic copying of major sections or the entire collection. Any scholar intending subsequently to use or quote material from the archive in a published form must first seek copyright permission from The Secretary, John Swire & Sons.' March 1977 B.C.
