Upon the founding of Singapore, one of Raffles’s early initiatives was the setting up of an institution of learning and along with it, the means to collect and preserve the treasures of the region. This was the genesis of the National Library, with its history closely tied to that of the Singapore Institution (present-day Raffles Institution) and the National Museum. The library remained a part of the Singapore Institution until 1845, when calls for a public library led to the formation of the Singapore Library. | [Singapore Institution Library (1837–1844)] - Historical development -- Timeline -- References. | Libraries--Singapore|Education--Singapore | Libraries {18336167} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126} | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

It was originally a low-lying, undeveloped area with kampongs and villages. The beach was a popular venue for water skiing in the 1950s. Today, the landmarks in the area include NTUC Downtown East and Pasir Ris Park. | [Pasir Ris] -- History -- Key features -- Density -- References. | Suburbs--Singapore|Street names--Singapore|Urbanization--Singapore | Streets and Places {18336099}|Places of interest {18455236} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia {10126} | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

The barracks served the British garrison infantry battalion until the fall of Singapore in 1942. After the war, it was home to the General Headquarters of the Far East Land Forces until the withdrawal of British troops in 1971. From 1972 to 1989, the site became the headquarters of the Ministry of Defence and the Central Manpower Base. In 2001, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) moved into the main building of the barracks. The area has since been redeveloped into Tanglin Village – a commercial cluster that focuses on lifestyle, education services and the arts. | [Tanglin Barracks] -- Tanglin site -- Architecture and use -- Adaptive use of the Tanglin Barracks and Tanglin Camp -- 1915 Indian Mutiny -- References -- Further resource. | Great Britain.

It was operating five maritime gateways by 1990, including Keppel Wharves, Jurong Port, Sembawang Wharves, Tanjong Pagar Container Terminal and Pasir Panjang Wharves. To ensure that Singapore’s port would remain responsive to industry developments and marketplace demand, PSA was corporatised on 1 October 1997 and it became known as PSA Corporation. | [Port of Singapore Authority (PSA)] -- Key developments -- Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore -- PSA Corporation -- References -- Further resources. | Administrative agencies--Singapore|Port districts--Singapore|Container Ports--Singapore|Wharves--Singapore|Harbors--Singapore|Port of Singapore Authority | Trade and industry {18486530}|Public buildings {18336161} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.

It began as the headquarters of the Singapore Volunteer Corps (SVC) in the 1930s, and later doubled up as the headquarters of the Singapore Military Forces (SMF), which was set up in 1954. After Singapore became an independent nation, some of the country's first military units were based here. The camp was closed in 2000, and its three buildings (blocks 1, 9 and 14) were gazetted for conservation in 2002. | [Beach Road] -- Description -- History -- Conservation -- Recent Uses -- Variant names -- Author -- References -- Further resources. | Street names--Singapore|Historic sites--Singapore|Urbanization--Singapore|Beach Road (Singapore) | Streets and Places {18336099}|Urban planning {18336138}|Historic buildings {18336510} | eng | NLB Collections>>Singapore Collection>>Singapore Infopedia | Article {18335714} | NA | The information on this page and any images that appear here may be used for private research and study purposes only.
