Description:

Abstract: This file contains papers and correspondence relating to the initiation of oil exploration and extraction in Kuwait. It includes the initial agreements for prospecting and concessions rights with the Anglo-Persian Oil Company in Kuwait. The file includes numerous papers that discuss the progress of rival oil companies on the Arabian Peninsula's Persian Gulf coast, most notably, the Eastern and General Syndicate under the guidance of Major Frank Holmes. The letters and agreements are mainly exchanged between the Political Agent in Kuwait, the Ruler of Kuwait, and the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, as well as representatives of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company.Physical description: Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 274; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio. An additional foliation sequence is present in parallel between ff 64-269; these numbers are also written in pencil, but are not circled.A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
