- File 60/20 I (C 93) Imperial Bank of Iran: Bahrain, etc
- Scope & Content:
-
The volume contains correspondence relating to banking in Persia, Saudi Arabia, and the Persian Gulf. The majority of the correspondence is between the British Ministry in Tehran, the Government of India, High Commissioner in Iraq (later the British Ambassador), Political Residency in Bushire, the Foreign and Indian Offices in London, Political Agencies in Bahrain and Kuwait, the British Consulates in Shiraz and Bandar Abbas, the British Minister in Jeddah, the British Ambassador in Cairo, employees of the Imperial Bank Persia (later Imperial Bank Iran) and the Eastern Bank, and the Persian Government. Included as enclosures are several newspaper cuttings and transcripts.
The documents cover discussions over the Imperial Bank's operations in the region, including growing hostility in an increasingly nationalist Iran and the plans to open a branch in Bahrain. Much of the volume pertains to the work of rival banks in Bahrain and Dhahran in Saudi Arabia. These banks include the Eastern Bank, the Ottoman Bank and the National City Bank.
Folio 146 is a map of al-Hasa, Saudi Arabia, produced by the California Arabian Standard Oil Company.
Folios 191-198 are internal office notes.
