Java Plantations, Oversize Photograph [see Box 5], undated

Taylor headed the Chinchona Products Institute from its inception in 1937 until it closed in 1954. Materials in this file relate to the work done by Taylor in promoting the use of quinine to the general public and within the medical profession. A professional public relations firm produced radio scripts relating to quinine. Also here are files on other medicinal plants which were being considered for cultivation and promotion by the Cinchona-Instituut in Amsterdam. Notable in this series is a holographic letter from the Countess de Cinchona (1631) which may have decorated Taylor's office. A chronological file of all of Taylor's correspondence with the Cinchona-Instituut traces the history of this cartel during the war. Oversize educational and prevention posters from around the world are found in Box 5.
