Abstract: This file contains a four-page handwritten inventory list of laboratory equipment for a girls’ school in Pakistan. The first page bears the inscription “Pakistan Girls’ Q.N. Pakistan Siddiq Ahmad Malik Karachi,” possibly indicating the owner or the school. Pages 2–4 list 75 items of scientific apparatus, including measuring flasks, burettes, pipettes, magnets, thermometers, anatomical models (lungs, kidney, brain, ear), glassware, chemicals (acids, bases, salts), and various physics demonstration tools (ball and ring, Magdeburg hemispheres, electric bell, turning fork, stopwatch). Each item has a checkmark in the remarks column, suggesting the list was used for verification or procurement. The inventory reflects the practical science teaching facilities of a Pakistani girls’ school during the mid-20th century.

Description: This is a handwritten inventory of scientific laboratory equipment for a girls’ school in Pakistan, likely from the 1950s or 1960s. The list includes 75 items ranging from basic glassware (flasks, beakers, burettes) to physics demonstration tools (magnetic compass, spring balances, pulleys), anatomical models (lungs, kidney, brain, ear), and common chemicals (acids, hydroxides, sodium chloride). Each entry is marked with a check, indicating a stock-taking or requisition process. The header “Pakistan Girls’ Q.N. Pakistan Siddiq Ahmad Malik Karachi” suggests a connection to a local educator or institution. The document provides insight into the resources available for science education in Pakistan’s girls’ schools during the post-independence era. SCANNED BY: NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF PAKISTAN.
