Eleven telegrams and paper items documenting the activity of the Palestine-Arab Delegation to London. London, 1921-1922. English and Arabic.
In 1919, after World War I and following the British occupation of Palestine, some groups of Muslims and Christians in Palestine united and organized the Palestine Arab Congress. During the years 1920-1928 the congress convened six times, focusing on opposition to the Zionist Movement and demanding the renunciation of the Balfour declaration. In 1921, during the third congress, the politician Musa Kazim Pasha al-Husseini was elected to head The Palestine Arab Delegation to London. This was the first of several delegations that were sent to London during the years 1921-1930. While in England, members of the delegation tried to draw attention to the Arab-Palestinian issue and met with many leaders and politicians (including the Pope, representatives of the League of Nations, secretary of state for colonies Winston Churchill, and others). In 1922 the delegation returned to Palestine as a protest against the approval of the text of the Mandate of Palestine. The delegation did not achieve any significant results but succeeded in gaining support from British Parliament members, mainly from the conservative party.
The present collection includes:
* Eight telegrams (printed on paper strips and glued onto the telegram form), sent to delegation members in November 1921. Most contain reports on strikes, demonstrations and protests occurring on the anniversary of the Balfour Declaration, in various cities throughout Palestine and in Cairo. English.
* Copy of a long letter dated 24 October 1921, typewritten and stenciled (the first page typewritten on the delegation's official stationery), addressed to the British Prime Minister David Lloyd George. The letter expresses sharp opposition to the Balfour Declaration, calls for the restriction of Jewish immigration and proposes guidelines for solving the Palestine problem in the spirit of the Arab approach. English.
* Two summaries of the delegation's activities in April and May 1922. Handwritten and stenciled, on official stationery. Among other things, the summaries mention a meeting with the foreign ministers of the Allied Powers in Paris, participation in an economic convention in Genoa (Italy), meetings with leftist politicians in England, a meeting with the High Commissioner Herbert Samuel, and other issues. Arabic.
Enclosed: fourteen paper items that belonged to delegation member Ibrahim Shammas (al-Shammas), including receipts, letters, purchase certificates, items connected with his activities in the Freemason organization, and more.
See enclosed material.
Size and condition vary. Fair overall condition. Some of the telegrams are in fair-poor condition, with stains, creases, tears and open tears (mostly to margins).

About 45 documents, letters and paper items from the estate of Albert Montefiore Hyamson, head of the immigration department of the British Mandate government who sought to prevent the partition plan for Palestine. Jerusalem and London, 1942-1948. English.
Albert Montefiore Hyamson (1875-1954), English historian and public figure, an opponent of the partition plan for Palestine. As part of his work he acted to restrict Jewish immigration, maintained contacts with Arab statesmen and drew up an alternative plan to partition, based on an Arab state with autonomy for the Jews (the "Hyamson-Newcombe Plan"). In 1945 he took part in a research group created by the Chatham House institute, which submitted its recommendations to the Anglo-American Committee of Enquiry on Palestine.
The present collection includes:
* About 25 documents, reviews, recommendations and other materials, typewritten and stenciled, documenting the activities of the research group, including: "A Constitution for Palestine", a document detailing a solution to the Palestine problem and the committee's recommendations; an early draft of this document, with handwritten changes and additions; a survey prepared by Hyamson of the existing form of government in Palestine; a document with guiding principles for writing a constitution for Palestine; a list of candidates to participate in the research group (some of the candidates' names are marked in pen, on the margins); and more.
* About 20 items from the correspondence between Hyamson and Judah Leon Magnes, president of the Hebrew University and one of the founders of "Brit Shalom", including: eight letters from Magnes to Hyamson, signed in his hand (three handwritten letters, the others typewritten); "Jewish-Arab Cooperation in Palestine", a typewritten article sent by Magnes for Hyamson's review prior to publication; nine typewritten letter copies; and more.
In Magnes's letters, sent in the years 1945-1947, he refers, among other things, to the killing of children by the Hagana as part of the organization's "punishment actions", to the proposal to found a Jewish-Arab council for resolving the conflict, to the emigration of Jews from Palestine, to the need to provide immigration visas to Jews (regardless of the establishment of a binational state) and other issues.
Enclosed: newspaper clippings and a few handwritten notes.
Size and condition vary. Good overall condition. Folding marks. Creases and slight defects to margins of some of the items. Handwritten inscriptions (English) on some of the items.

Twenty five drawings and prints by Grete Wolf-Krakauer, created during sessions of UNSCOP. [Palestine, 1947].
UNSCOP [United Nations Special Committee on Palestine] was created in 1947 to investigate the question of Palestine, and it included representatives from eleven nations from around the world. During its operations the committee gathered information in Palestine, in Arab countries and even in Displaced Persons Camps in Europe, and finally, in August 1947, it recommended a partition of Mandatory Palestine at the end of the British Mandate. Since photography during sessions was not allowed, the artist Grete Wolf-Krakauer was commissioned to draw the participants.

1-9. Nine pencil drawings on paper. Portraits of the committee members, among them: Emil Sandström (representative of Sweden and chairman of the committee), John Hood (Australian representative), Moshe Sharett (representative of the Jewish Agency) as well as representatives from Iran, India, Holland and more. On two of the drawings appear, most probably, autographs of the objects of the drawings.
10-19. Ten drawings in ink on tracing paper (drawn after the pencil drawings). Signed: G. K. W.
19-25. Six trial prints of the drawings.
Enclosed: Issue of the newspaper "Mitteilungsblatt, Alija Chadascha" from 20.6.1947 in which some of the drawings were printed. German.
Total of nineteen drawings and six prints. Size and condition vary. Good overall condition. Stains and tears (most of them small, at margins). Pinholes to four of the pencil drawings. Two of the tracing papers are torn (some open tears), and one tracing papers is creased.

Collection of items from the estate of a Palmach soldier named Uri. Palestine, 1945-1950.
1-2. Two personal notebooks recording the life of Uri for five years: his years in high school ("HaReali" in Haifa), membership in a youth movement, his loves, and more, and later - his enlisting to a Palmach group ("I sang with everybody… but I wished to disappear…and not be seen…") and transits through sites and camps around the country: arrival in Kvutzat Shiller, Rishon LeZion, Kfar Warburg, military camp near Ruchama, Hazor camp, military camp near Dorot, Beer Ya'akov camp, Military Engineering school in Ramat HaSharon, Kalta (Hazerim), Beersheba ("this town was occupied by our forces on 21.10 and we moved there from Kalta the following day…"), Gvat, camp near Beersheba and other places.
When in school he recorded in his diary important political events in Palestine and wrote, in length, about six illegal immigration ships sent to a detention camp in Cyprus (September 1946), mentions names of other illegal immigration ships which neared the country's shores, and notes details about the number of illegal immigrants and their fate (mentions also the ship "Exodus"), release from the detention camp in Latroun of those arrested during the "Black Shabbat", release of detainees from Atlit camp, kidnapping of British sergeants by Etzel, November 29 ("12 days ago it was declared that a Jewish State will be established on part of Palestine, a joyful event in the country, but I cannot tell about it since in the meantime bloody occurrences started all over the country"), and other events: the leaf dedicated to the "establishment of the State of Israel" was signed by fifteen of his friends.

7. Notebook with a detailed recording of photographs depicting Palmach operations, taken in the Negev during the months of July-August 1948.
