NOTE ON
HARDYMAN MADAGASCAR COLLECTION
The HARDYMAN MADAGASCAR COLLECTION started in a very
simple way when I was a boy of eleven or twelve years
old. My parents were working in Madagascar with the
London Missionary Society now the Council for World
Mission. When I came to England, after spending my
first few years in the Island, they chose as my
guardians the Rev and Mrs J.H. Haile who had also
been with the London Missionary Society in Madagascar.
So the stage was set for me to take a strong interest
in Madagascar.
My first book was a.secondhand copy of a book written by
an anonymous Englishman, calling himself ’A Resident’.
It was published in the 1840's and has become quite
uncommon. A reference in another book to OLIVER'S
'Madagascar' in two huge volumes (1886) further stim-
ulated my interest and eventually a copy of the book
was obtained. Hundreds of pages about Madagascar,?
From that time on every opportunity was taken to obtain
relevant material; especially as we lived for so many
years in Madagascar ( 1946 - 1973). It has been used to
good effect not only by its owners but by others who have
written for information to help with research.
But the time has now come to give the HARDYMAN MADAGASCAR
COLLECTION a new home. My wife and I are therefore
donating it to the Library of the School of African and
Oriental Studies, London.
