in Muscat. Most of the file's papers are reports on the current state of wells, drainage systems, agricultural ditches and water channels and their susceptibility to breeding species of malaria-carrying mosquitos, particularly the area of Tuyan. The latter half of the file indicates that the Muscat Municipality took on these efforts from the office of the Sultan who had initiated the anti-malaria campaign in 1938.
The file also contains papers from a broad range of medical and scientific institutions outside of Oman enlisted to help with the anti-malaria effort in Muscat. This includes reports on the existing anti-malaria campaign in Bahrain, as well as extensive quotations and product descriptions of pesticide from India through the firm of F.S. Kerr and Co of Bombay. Finally, the file also contains an Indian Red Cross Society information and advice pamphlet entitled 'Malaria: the Mosquito Danger'.
