The Rare Materials Collection at the National Library, Singapore,
contains more than 11,000 items and spans six centuries of history.
The collection comprises books, manuscripts, maps, photographs,
correspondence, and more, which together provide us with valuable
insights into Singapore’s history. This book presents a diverse
selection of almost 50 of the rarest and most priceless items in
the collection, including the Mao Kun Map, a recently-acquired
Munshi Abdullah edition of the Sejarah Melayu, 19th century
lithographs, Japanese reconnaissance maps, correspondence from
Raffles, and even a football rule book in Jawi. Each item is
described and analysed with an insightful essay and richly
complemented with illustrations, helping to bring these stories
from the stacks to life and lead us down new avenues of historical
understanding.
