Accruals No additions are expected. Arrangement Arranged to the folder level. Processing Information Processed by Michele Morgan and Arcadia Falcone in 2010-2011. Biographical Information Agnes Jones Goodwillie Newton Keith (1901-1982) was an American author, known for her autobiographical accounts of her family's experiences in Borneo, the Philippines, and Libya. Keith was born in Oak Park, Illinois, to an American mother and a British father. The family moved to California early in Keith's childhood. Keith graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1924, and worked for the San Francisco Examiner. Her career as a journalist came to an abrupt end in 1925, when a man convinced that the newspaper was persecuting him through Krazy Kat cartoons attacked her outside the Examiner offices. Keith suffered memory and vision loss as a result of this assault, but eventually recovered. In 1934 Keith married Henry G. (Harry) Keith, an Englishman, who was a family friend and who had studied forestry at Berkeley. Keith followed her new husband to his current posting as Conservator of Forests and Director of Agriculture in North Borneo, where she became deeply interested in the region and its people. Keith's first book, Land Below the Wind (1939), describes her early Borneo experiences. On leave in Canada when war was declared in 1939, the Keiths returned to Borneo soon after, where Agnes Keith gave birth to her second child, George, in 1940. (A daughter, Jean, remained in Canada.) The Japanese invaded Sandakan in 1942, and the Keiths, along with other Allied nationals in the area, were placed under house arrest. A few months later, Keith and George were sent to a prison camp on Berhala Island, with Harry Keith imprisoned nearby. In 1943, Keith and her son were transferred to a prison camp at Kuching, under the command of Colonel Suga, with Harry later transferred to an Finding Aid to the Agnes Newton BANC MSS 86/161 z 3 Keith Papers, 1913-1985, undated (bulk 1939-1975) adjoining camp. During her imprisonment, Keith kept a secret account of her experiences on scraps of paper hidden in her son's toys. This diary became Keith's second book, Three Came Home, written after her family's liberation in 1945 and published in 1947. The book was adapted into a film, with Claudette Colbert as Keith, in 1950. After a recuperation period in Canada, Harry Keith returned to Borneo in 1946, with Keith and George following him in 1947. Keith wrote her third book, White Man Returns (1951), about the post-war reconstruction of Borneo. In 1952, Harry Keith was posted to the Philippines with the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations, and the Keiths moved to Manila. Keith recorded these experiences in Bare Feet in the Palace (1955). In 1955, the Keiths moved to Libya, where Harry Keith was appointed as Forestry Advisor and FAO representative. There Keith wrote Children of Allah (1966). In 1964, Harry Keith retired and the Keiths returned to Canada, where they lived in Oak Bay, British Columbia. During this time Keith wrote her only novel, published as Beloved Exiles in 1972. In 1973 Keith traveled to Japan to research her final book, Before the Blossoms Fall (1975), an account of contemporary Japanese life and culture. Keith died in Oak Bay in 1982. Scope and Content of Collection The Agnes Newton Keith Papers (1913-1985, bulk 1939-1975) include drafts, diaries, correspondence, speech notes, research materials, and clippings, mostly related to Keith's literary work.

Drafts and published copies are also present for many of Keith's articles. The collection includes several diaries by Keith, most notably the secret records kept during her internment as a Japanese prisoner of war.

Sejarah Melayu. , [Singapore]. First edition, 8vo, pp. [1]-7 (preface), [1, blank], [1, title], [2], 4-368. Malay text in Jawi (Arabic script). With Bibliotheca Lindesiana bookplate and pencil inscription: Malay Books No.3. [205244] SOLD The Sejarah Melayu, or Malay annals, (in Arabic, Sulalat al-Salatin or Genealogy of kings) was composed in the early 16th century by Tun Seri Larang, an official at the court of Sultan Mahmud Shah. It records the history of Malacca from its foundation by the Srivijayan prince Parameswara around 1400, through its rise to become the richest entrepot in southeast Asia, to the Portuguese conquest in 1511. The Sejarah Melayu is the finest literary work in the Malay language, written by Tun Seri Larang, the greatest Malay author of the classical period. They are moreover the most important Malay historical text, providing a handbook of Malay statecraft and outlining the relationship between ruler and subjects. While there are more than thirty extant manuscripts of Sejarah Melayu there are only four recorded copies of this first printed edition. Two are at the Library of Congress, one known to have been purchased for $3 in Singapore in 1842 by the United States Exploring Expedition under Wilkes, one at Leiden, and one at the National Library of Malaysia. No date of publication appears in the text. Our copy was in the Bibliotheca Lindesiana, the celebrated collection built by Lord Lindsay (1812-1880), 25th Earl of Crawford, and his son James Ludovic Lindsay.

Built with forced labour by some 3,600 Indonesian civilians and 2,400 Australian and British PoWs captured at Singapore (of which only some 1,900 were still alive at this time). It is decided to abandon the airfield. Between January and March the prisoners are force marched in groups to a new location 160 miles away, but most cannot complete the journey due to disease and malnutrition, and are killed by their guards. Only 6 Australian servicemen are found alive from this group at the end of the war, having escaped from the column, and only 3 of these survived to testify against their guards.

The Second World War was a time of increased contacts for ordinary Britons with peoples of different race, ethnicity and nationality. This thesis explores these novel interactions primarily through the eyes of the other ranks of the 18th Division, who set sail from Britain in the latter part of 1941 and arrived in Singapore shortly before it was overwhelmed by the Japanese Imperial Army, in February 1942. They subsequently endured three and a half years in captivity, the severity of which was such that a quarter of them never returned.

    Sandakan City Tour This Daytrip Sandakan City tour package includes five (5) destinations: 1. Sandakan memorial Park. 2. Puu Jih Shih Buddhist Temple 3. St. Michael’s Church 4. Central Market 5. Agnes Keith Museum & English Tea House Sandakan memorial Park. It is dedicated to some 2700 Australian POW who died at the Sandakan POW camp and in the ensuing death marches through the jungles of Sabah. Puu Jih Shih Buddhist Temple The extravagant Chinese Buddhist temple perches four kilometres west of the centre of Sandakan. Not as ancient and incense soaked as some of the older temples in town, Puu Jih Shih is bright and shiny, relatively newly built in 1987. This landmark offers a breath taking view over Sandakan Bay. St. Michael’s Church Situated at Elton Hill, this beautiful granite church was built in 1893 and took 30 years to complete. Designed by New Zealander, Mr. B. W. Mountfort, the church was constructed with stones taken from Buli Sim Sim and the white stones that adorn the windows and doors were from Hong Kong. St. Michael’s and All Angels Church was one of Sabah’s few surviving pre- warstone building and was recognized as one of the world’s heritage since 2005. The beautiful stained glass windows in the church were donated by Australians to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the end of World War II. Central Market The Central Market is where the locals come to buy fresh produce, fruits, delicacies and crafts, sarongs and seashells. You may spot stalls selling shirts, shoes, bags & local handicraft such as crystal and pearl accessories on the second level of this building.

This property has heritage value as outlined in other official submissions to date and contributes to the character of the street in general. I’m aware that the idea of involuntary designation Bylaw 4764 is under discussion at Council and support going forward with Option 2 if the HRA that had been started cannot be completed. As someone who has been following this matter, to return to the option of an HRA, would allow the developer to retain the original home and add a second dwelling. If a creative and reasonable solution could be found to satisfy both the District and the developer, I believe this would be a sensitive way to increase density while preserving the character of the existing streetscape and reducing the environmental impact of new construction. The proposal put forward did also appear to minimize impacts on adjacent properties, and seemed consistent with existing policies and strategies of Council, for example: Official Community Plan, 2014 1.6.2 Broad Strategies BP2.
