About this item

Content

Correspondence and papers reporting on the activities of individuals and companies from the United States of America, seeking to gain oil concessions in Persia [Iran]. The majority of the file focuses on the activities of two US citizens, Charles Calmer Hart (a former US Minister to Iran) and the petroleum geologist Frederick Gardner Clapp, as well as the activities of the Amiranian Oil Company. The file includes copies of agreements and Persian (Iranian) Government bills (in French) relating to the granting of concessions, along with a map illustrating the extent of the concession (f 41). Correspondence from 1938 onwards reports on the withdrawal of the Amiranian Oil Company from Persia, and the renouncement of their concession (ff 2-19).

The file includes a divider, which gives a list of correspondence references contained in the file by year. This is placed at the back of the correspondence.
