Introduction

Scope and Contents

The Harold S. Williams collection consists of maps relating to Japan with a few items relating to China and Korea. The maps hold a heavy focus on tourist information on Japan such as tourist brochures and road maps, however political maps, development plans, and artistic impressions of specific areas are also included. William's main collecting focus was on Kobe, as this was his place of residence, however material from larger cities such as Osaka and Tokyo are present.

Biographical Note

Harold Stannett Williams (1898–1987) was born in Melbourne. He attended Trinity Grammar School and Melbourne High School, worked in the Commonwealth Laboratory and then studied medicine at the University of Melbourne. In 1919 he visited Japan and, almost unintentionally, found himself engaged as an assistant by the Scottish mercantile and agency firm of Findlay Richardson & Co. in Yokohama. In the following year he was transferred to Kobe and he decided to remain in Japan permanently. In 1926 he became manager of the silk firm of Cooper & Co. Ltd, which later became Cooper Findlay & Co. Ltd. He left Japan in 1941 and enlisted in the Australian Army, serving in Africa, the Pacific and Burma. He returned in 1945 as a member of the British Commonwealth Occupation Forces. He was discharged, with the rank of major, in 1949 and joined E.W. James in reviving the business of the English firm A. Cameron & Co. He became managing director, retiring in 1962 but remaining the sole shareholder.

In 1953 Williams began writing articles about the foreign settlements in Japan that appeared regularly in Mainichi Daily News and other journals. His books include Tales of the Foreign Settlements in Japan (1958), Shades of the Past or Indiscreet Tales of Japan (1959), Foreigners in Mikadoland (1963) and Kobe Regatta and Athletic Club: The First Hundred Years (1970). Selected writings were republished posthumously in West Meets East: The Foreign Experience of Japan (1996), which included sketches by his wife Gertrude (Jean) Williams) (1909–1999).

In 1949 Harold and Gertrude Williams acquired a property on the James Estate in the Shioya hills outside Kobe. It had an immaculate garden with commanding views of the hills and Osaka Bay. Williams lived there for the rest of his life and it was in this house that he assembled his large collection of books, manuscripts, photographs and artworks. In 1969 he wrote that his aim had been 'to gather as much information as possible bearing upon the contribution made by foreigners to Japanese life, and culture, the manner in which they have impinged upon Japanese history, and all matters relating to the Foreign Settlements'. His work with historical research earned him the 1967 International Cultural Award of the Hyogo Prefectural Government, as well as being appointed as Officer of the Order of the British Empire in 1972. Harold Williams passed away shortly after midnight on 15 January 1987, still living in Kobe. His wife Gertrude would continue supporting and contributing to her late husband's work until her death in Queensland, 1999.
