Memorandum on British Policy in Palestine, specifically targeting the Concession for the extraction of salts and minerals in the Dead Sea, granted in 1930 to the Palestine Potash Limited headed by Moshe Novomeysky. The ruthless memorandum calls for the imposition of British rule on the Dead Sea and urges the British authorities to take steps to settle the "Palestinian problem", "To maintain the pledges given to the Arabs and our long and honoured friendship with the Moslem World". The memorandum is signed (in print) by Margaret Farquharson, president of the National League.

Beginning in 1918 the organization focused on a publicity campaign against Bolshevism and in favor of the rights of the Arabs of Palestine. Among other things, the organization struggled to change the principles of the Balfour declaration in favor of the Arabs.

A collection of papers documenting the construction of dozens of fortified police stations (known as "Tegart forts") throughout Palestine following the Great Arab Revolt (1936-39) in Palestine. Palestine, ca. 1940-45. English.
Including:
● Two folders produced by the Public Works Department of the Palestine Government, containing hundreds of protocols and reports dealing with the establishment of the Tegart forts.
1. "Minutes of Meetings," aide memoires from the meetings overseeing the progress in the construction and maintenance of the fortified police stations in the years 1940-42, typewritten (some mimeographed), with handwritten comments and corrections. The minutes include reporting on the progress in construction, resolutions adopted at the oversight meetings, and instructions for the construction supervisors. Approx. 40 documents.
2. "Notes on Tours," a folder containing reports issued following site visits aimed at inspecting the construction and maintenance of the fortified police stations in the years 1940-42. Some of the reports are handwritten, while others are typewritten (including mimeographed copies). Handwritten comments and corrections have been added. The folder includes architectural sketches of specific sections of the fortresses, details regarding various items of equipment or furniture, and reports outlining the necessary procurement of materials, equipment, and interior accessories. Approx. 100 documents.
● Additional papers documenting the establishment of the fortified police stations, including lists of project managers, guidelines for the drafting of bills of quantities, lists of building materials, and more.
Some of the documents in this collection are written on the backs of forms and documents dating from the 1920s and 1930s; this can most likely be explained by the general shortage of paper in the years of the Second World War.
Approx. 190 documents. Size and condition vary. Overall good-fair condition. Blemishes, closed and open tears to edges of some documents.
