FY15 Annual Report | 9 THE IMPACT OF CRL: Afghan Documentation Spans Tumultuous Century

Without CRL’s preservation efforts, the Library of Congress’s Observation post, Shigal Tarna garrison, remarkable achievement of amassing the materials in the first Afghanistan, 1987. Erwin Franzen, https:// place might have been diminished. www.flickr.com/ photos/erwinlux/ with/1002019852/ he civil wars, foreign invasions, and bloodshed that have plagued Afghanistan for nearly a Tcentury have also destroyed much of the documentation of that nation’s modern history. An important trove of surviving materials assembled by the Library of Congress Field Office in Islamabad has now been preserved by CRL through the joint efforts of the Middle Eastern Materials Project (MEMP) and the South Asia Materials Project (SAMP). The collection of materials, in Pushto, Persian, and Dari languages, has been microfilmed and some items have also been digitized.

The LC field offices locate and collect hard-to-acquire materials for the benefit of policymakers and scholars in the U.S. and around the world. Without CRL’s efforts, LC’s remarkable achievement of amassing the Afghan materials might have been diminished, notes Judy Alspach, CRL’s area studies program manager. “Some of the documents had been acquired decades ago, and so were in danger of deteriorating,” says Alspach. They could have been lost at a time when insights to be gained from the mix of cultural perspectives in this beleaguered nation could be crucial.

“The lengthy runs of some publications collected are particularly notable given the political circumstances,” says Alspach. For example, the Ministry of Information and Culture published Pushtun Zhagh, the official organ of Kabul Radio, from 1942 to 1977. This period spanned the monarchy of Zahir Shah; the rise of General Mohammed Daoud, who as prime minister more closely allied Afghanistan with the Soviet Union; and events leading to Daoud’s ultimate overthrow and establishment of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan in 1978. Avaz, a continuation of the Ministry’s publication, is represented in holdings from 1985–1995. That period saw the Soviet-Afghan war, early U.S. intervention, and the rise of the Taliban. Other materials preserved from this era include a partial run of the Kabul newspaper Jirgah.

FY15 Annual Report | 14 THE IMPACT OF CRL: Excavating Attitudes on Opium Prohibition from CRL Records

ecades after administrative clerks carefully noted transactions between the Colonial Offices of William Suddaby for Dthe British Empire and the Malay States in the 1920s and 1930s, Harvard Fellow Diana Kim the Empire Marketing turned to these records to understand the dynamics of a robust opium trade between producers in Board, c. 1930. Library British India and consumers in Southeast Asia in the late 19th and early 20th century. She sought to and Archives Canada, learn more about the conditions that led to opium’s eventual transition from a legal commodity to a C-109435. prohibited substance.

Dr. Kim discovered the archival materials held by CRL while conducting research at the British Library in 2010 for her PhD dissertation at the University of Chicago, Empire’s Penal Turn: The Rise of Opium Prohibition in Mainland Southeast Asia, 1870–1935. Her research has expanded to a book- length project now under consideration by a university press.

“I had originally focused on British Burma, but for the book I have expanded the comparative focus to British Malaya and French Indochina,” she noted. “CRL staff members were very kind in helping me locate what I needed, pointing to microfilm holdings of possible interest at CRL. They were particularly helpful in putting together a list of colonial budget records for the British-ruled Straits Settlements.”

Her goal was to connect the dots—to trace how colonial revenue incentives competed with emerging acknowledgement of the dangers of widespread opium use. Before international conventions outlawed the opium trade altogether by the mid-1930s, prohibition measures were implemented incrementally and inconsistently.

“The primary sources I accessed through CRL are useful for excavating the anxieties that European state builders encountered in non-European settings with regard to opium smuggling and illicit consumption,” said Dr. Kim. “The multiple resources that CRL provides—government gazettes, newspapers, administrative reports, departmental correspondences—are invaluable for triangulating the ideas that actors held at the time and the economic realities they occupied. For me, the broader stakes to excavating ‘hidden’ activities and actors in the archives is to understand why prohibition happened when it did, the way it did.”

rom the violent political upheavals in Ukraine in the 1930s and 1940s some 200,000 émigrés Femerged, choosing to live in exile in Germany and other Western European countries after World War II instead of returning to the Soviet Union. Wherever they settled, they began organizing around civic, educational, and cultural interests, producing newsletters, pamphlets, and other documentation to connect and inform their various communities. In July 2015, the Slavic and East European Materials Project at CRL (SEEMP) completed digitization of the Ukrainian Émigré Press Collection, encompassing some 90 titles published between 1945–1954, and now dispersed in holdings at Harvard University, the University of Toronto, and the Ukrainian Free Academy of Sciences in New York City. These publications provide texture and detail about how a group of displaced people carried on with their personal and professional lives in the first decade after the war, including holding art exhibitions in refugee camps or compiling a guide to opportunities for continuing medical training in Germany. “Some of the titles had limited runs and were in poor condition, making them difficult to access or decipher,” said Judy Alspach, CRL’s area studies program manager. “In digitized format, scholars will have a clearer view into the daily lives of these émigrés.” “CRL’s role in uniting these three distinctive holdings was incredibly important,” said Ksenya Kiebuzinski, Slavic resources specialist at the University of Toronto Libraries. “The holdings for any one title can be scattered across several institutions—from Toronto, to Cambridge, to New York City, to Munich,” she said. “The CRL platform allows us to unite the journal titles under a single access point.”
