Documents of Myanmar Socio-Economic History could not have been constructed without the generous cooperation of the individuals and institutions holding relevant documents. The late Daw Loun, head of the Thugaung family, gave her consent for images to be taken of the handsome collection of Salin Thugaung in 1987. We are also most grateful to Daw Ni Ni Myint, SEAMEO Regional Centre for History and Tradition, Yangon, U Tun Aung Chain, Chairman of NCPTM, and Dr U Thaw Kaung, member of the Myanmar Historical Commission for their valuable advice concerning the collecting of manuscripts. We are further indebted to the late U Maung Maung Tin, M.A. and U Myat Soe, Librarian of Yangon University Library, for providing us with details of historical Myanmar manuscripts. Finally, we must express our thanks to Sayadaw U Thutalingara, Shwe Kyaung in Myinwun Kyaungtaik, Mandalay for his generous assistance with our research in Myanmar.
