Liberty - supplemental proposal

Tabbed

Description & Rationale

Liberty was a national English-language daily (except Sunday) published in Bangkok in September 1945 by Manit Vasuvat who was Chair of the Sri Krung Publishing Company. It was a well-written, conservative paper designed for international readers. The paper reflected the perspectives of British-educated Thais in both domestic and foreign news. It ceased in 1956.

Reasons for consideration:

As per WorldCat, libraries in Australia, Canada, Netherlands, and United Kingdom hold this title but it is unclear about their holdings in paper and/or film.

This proposal complements the SEAM proposal approved in 2019 to microfilm 1952-1955 issues of Liberty held at the University of California, Berkeley.
