A clutch of unrecorded ephemera and periodicals relating to Anglo-Liberian diplomatic relations in the 1960s, in particular the state visit of the Liberian President William Tubman (1895-1971) to Britain 1962 and attendant functions.
In the early 1960s, Liberia benefitted from a period of comparative political and economic stability. An unprecedented influx of foreign investment in the decade prior permitted Tubman to instigate a policy of 'modernisation' characterised by extensive improvements to the country's infrastructure and far greater emphasis on education.
In his twenty-seven years as President - an apparelled tenure in that office - Tubman spearheaded a plethora of social reforms, notably taking steps to towards greater harmony between indigenous Liberians and his fellow Americo-Liberians.
