1934-1946
Description

The Books and Publications files of the Political Agency, Bahrain contain two kinds of material:. files concerning publicity in newspapers and journals about Bahrain and affairs in the wider Persian Gulf, much of it deriving from the Arabic language press and much if it of a sensitive or critical nature, together with the response of the British and the Government of Bahrain to some of that publicity, dated 1934-1939 (IOR/R/15/2/177-178); and; one file concerning the safe custody and transfer by the Bahrain Political Agency of secret and confidential publications and cyphers and codes, dated 1936-1946 (IOR/R/15/2/179); .

Arrangement

The Books and Publications files are arranged by file and part number, by which, for example, the reference 2/4 I consists of the subject reference (2 - Books and Publications), the file number (4) and the part number (I). There are only three surviving files: 2/4 I, its continuation 2/4 II, and 2/10 I. These references show the likely gaps in the series.
