Abstract: This comprehensive collection comprises primary source documents from a pivotal period in South Asian history. It is divided into two key themes: first, letters and bank records documenting the massive public fundraising efforts for the Bihar Muslim Refugees' Relief Fund and the early Pakistan Fund, addressed to M.A. Jinnah in his capacity as Qaide-e-Azam of the All-India Muslim League. Second, it includes the official internal budget estimates, pay bills, tax calculations, and administrative correspondence related to M.A. Jinnah's office as the first Governor-General of Pakistan.

Description: This collection of scanned document images serves as a crucial primary source for historians and researchers. It captures the transition of M.A. Jinnah from the pre-Partition political leader of the Muslim League to the constitutional head of state of a new nation. The first part showcases the trust and widespread support he commanded, with donations flowing in from across India and abroad, managed through the Habib Bank.
