Scope and content
Printed genealogical material and maps relating to two princely states of British India, Kharan and Makran, now part of the Balochistan/Baluchistan province of Pakistan, including:
- Offprint of Appendix I of Kharan Gazetteer, Volume VIIA of the Baluchistan District Gazetteer Series, 1907, being the printed genealogical tree of the Nausherwanis of Kharan and Makran. Note at the bottom states that the tree is in disagreement with that given in Makran Gazetteer published in the same Gazetteer series, and that this tree was prepared from information supplied by the Chief of Kharan so is probably more correct
- Printed genealogical tree of the Kakar Tribe which is found in the Kharan region, tracing the lineage of the tribe from Qais Abdul Rashid. Prepared by Mir Shams Shah, K. B., Settlement Extra Assistant Commissioner in Baluchistan, and produced by Major A. H. McMahon, Revenue Commissioner in Baluchistan, December 1901. Probably an appendix of an edition of the Baluchistan District Gazetteer Series
- Coloured printed map of Makran on a 1 inch to 16 miles scale, showing its boundaries, major roads, tracks and rivers. No. 28[8]8, printed by Thomason College, Roorkee in February 1907. 47cm (h) x 48cm (w)
- Coloured printed map of Kharan on a 1 inch to 10 miles scale, showing its boundaries, routes, rivers and Kharan Chief’s military outposts. No. 3235, printed by Thomason College, Roorkee in August 1907. 46cm (h) x 46cm (w)
