Gifts from Emperor #Puyi to his departing tutor Johnston reside in the SOAS library and archives. These include the emperor’s fan, now part of the Library’s Special Chinese Art Collection. The black fan features a landscape picture in gold and bears an inscription of the Imperial Seal of Xuantong (Puyi was the Xuantong Emperor). The fan was given as a farewell gift on 15th September 1930 when Johnston left China following the formal handover of Weihai back to Chinese sovereignty.

The development of ‘tie-on’ pockets during the 17th century was a defining moment for women, providing a highly practical and extremely popular detachable accessory for carrying their possessions, similar to the function of handbags today.
In polite society, formal situations, or when travelling, pockets would normally be invisible under a woman’s petticoats, but for working women, they might be more visible and immediately accessible, worn just under an apron.

What's in a word?
This new resource explores how museums communicate about collections review, object removal and disposal. Inspired by discussions at a January 2026 event at Manchester Art Gallery, where 50 museum professionals came together to examine the language used around these complex processes, it offers practical reflections for supporting open, honest and informed conversations

Around this time in 1897, Thomas Edison was likely celebrating receiving a patent for the Kinetograph, his early motion picture camera. The first films ever copyrighted were made with it, including this one from 1894, which the Library has preserved. It's colloquially known as "Fred Ott's Sneeze."
