Correspondence concerned with the governance of the Trust and the trustees.

Papers and Correspondence produced in the governance of the Gibb Memorial Trust.

Letter from Guy le Strange to C.A. Storey to inform Storey that due to increasing age and frailty, he has agreed with Nicholson that another trustee should act as signature of cheques. He wants to suggest that R. Levy, Lecturer in Persian, University of Cambridge, is appointed a Trustee. He is writing to all Trustees with this suggestion and asks Storey to give his opinion of the matter.

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.
