The Asia Society, Juc: 18 Ecst 50th Stresi New York 22, N. Y. JAN 20 1958. Dear Sir: The Asia Society is making a survey of slide resources dealing with Asia. This survey, which is one of the Society's activities to further opportunities for Asian studies in Ameri- can education, will cover the countries between and including Afghanistan and Japan. The survey will help to determine the feasibility of establishing a central clearinghouse of slides on Asia; such a clearinghouse, which might include reproduction and distribution facilities and a repository and index of available slides, would be intended to serve you and others wishing to make use of it, particularly as a resource for teaching. We believe that you may have a collection of slides on Asia and should appreciate greatly your filling out the en- closed questionnaire and returning it to us in the accompanying postage-paid envelope. If you do not have any slides dealing with Asia, please fill out the first and last items on the questionnaire and return it so that we may adjust our records. We should also welcome any comments which you may have on the possible usefulness of a slide clearinghouse to you in your teaching or other professional activities; these comments may be added on the back of the questionnaire. This questionnaire is being sent to lists of individuals and organizations having professional and academic interests in Asia. If you know of others who may have slide collections and will let us have their names and addresses, we should like to send them questionnaires in order to make this survey as complete as possible. Or, if you prefer and will let us know how many questionnaires you can use, we will send addi- tional copies directly to you for distribution to colleagues and others with slide materials on Asia. We hope that you will take just the few minutes needed to complete the enclosed questionnaire. Thank you very much for your cooperation, ~ .
