[ANNOTATED PHOTOGRAPH AND SCRAPBOOK ALBUM DOCUMENTING AN AMERICAN EDUCATIONAL WORKSHOP IN PAKISTAN IN THE MID-1950s]. A likely-unique assemblage of photographs and ephemera relating to an educational workshop conducted by the United States Educational Foundation in Pakistan (USEFP) in the mid-20th century. A non-governmental organization still active more than seventy years after its founding, the USEFP's goal is to promote educational cooperation between the U.S. and Pakistan. After gaining its independence from Britain in 1947 Pakistan sought to remain technically non-aligned with regard to Cold War international politics, but over time developed a significant relationship with the United States, including the leasing of the Peshawar Air Station for American use beginning in 1956.Most of the larger photographs in this album have typed captions, and document various Pakistani officials and USEFP members speaking and teaching during an educational workshop in "West Pakistan," running discussion groups and meetings, and attending receptions and other activities. There is also a "Group photo of the members and the Delegation of the Education Foundation." One of the speakers who worked for the USEFP and is pictured here leading a discussion group is Calvin Cope, who seems to be the compiler of the present album; two newspaper articles on Cope's experiences in Pakistan are mounted in the rear of the album. Cope was a university professor and administrator at Monterey Peninsula Co
