Scope and Content

Photographs and postcards relate to people, leisure, education, agriculture, industry, and heritage sites in the Kingdom of Libya.

The photographs are accompanied by a typed letter from Shirley K. Strong, General Secretary of the Society for Libyan Studies to Roland C. Shaw, 10 Storey's Gate, London, thanking him for donating the photographs to the Society's archive (25 July 2002, 1 page). The letter states that the photographs were taken in the late 1960s as part of a supplement of the Herald Tribune for the Libyan Government.
