'File 4/13 I Zubarah'
- Scope & Content:
-
This file contains correspondence regarding a dispute that broke out between Qatar and Bahrain over the ownership of Zubarah on the Qatari peninsula. The hostilities began after the ruler of Qatar, Shaikh ‘Abdullāh bin Jāsim Āl Thānī, attempted to impose taxation on members of the Al Naim tribe who were resident in Zubarah but proclaimed allegiance to the Āl Khalīfah family.
The correspondence (in English and Arabic) is primarily between British officials (Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, Percy Gordon Loch and Political Agent in Bahrain, Tom Hickinbotham) and the rulers of Bahrain and Qatar, Shaikh ‘Abdullāh bin Jāsim Āl Thānī and Shaikh Ḥamad bin ‘Īsá Āl Khalīfah, respectively. The file also contains correspondence between Charles Belgrave, Adviser to the Government of Bahrain and Hickinbotham.
The file contains three black and white aerial photographs of Zubarah (ff 80-81).
On folios 82-92 the file contains a report written by Hickinbotham entitled 'Zubarah incident' that contains a summary of relevant events and recommendations for British Policy on the issue.

Foliation: the main foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover, and terminates at the inside back cover; 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 7-323; these numbers are also written in pencil, and can be found in the same position as the main sequence, but they are not circled. A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
