The Gibb Memorial Trust was established in 1902 in memory of Elias John Wilkinson Gibb, a largely self-taught Arabic, Persian, and, above all, of Ottoman Turkish, died age 45 in 1901 and his mother established the Trust. These papers mainly cover the period 1927-1951 and consists of governance, finance and publication documents, produced mainly as a result of Charles Ambrose Storey's involvement as a Trustee of the Trust.

Postcard from Dr Reser, Ankara, Turkey, to C.A. Storey on which he writes of the delay in receiving Storey's card and that he is unable to supply the book that Storey requests. He hopes to send his new translation soon, and asks for two Gibb Memorial Volumes at a reduced price.
