Some Britain-Burma Society members will already know of the Burma collections at the Brighton Museum, thanks to their visit there in September 2003 when the Society was given a special tour and lecture and also treated to a Burmese meal prepared by Eleanor Clarke. The Burma collections - comprising books, photographs, diaries, artefacts and textiles - are located in the James Green Centre for World Art in the care of the Brighton Museum and Art Gallery and were formed by James Henry Green (1893-1975), whilst he was working as a recruiting and intelligence officer in Burma's frontier regions in the early 20th century. The collections have not remained static, but in recent years have developed by donations and through the work of the Centre's gifted Curators who have built new links between Burma and Britain by, for example, commissioning new textiles in Burma.
