Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The China Purchasing Agency Ltd was formed in August 1939 to deal with the work of effecting purchases with funds that did not come under the arrangements for the disposal of the British share of the China Indemnity. It shared joint staff and offices with the Chinese Government Purchasing Commission. There are very few materials in the collection that relate solely to the China Purchasing Agency, as so many functions were shared with the Chinese Government Purchasing Commission.
