Dear Ms Romefors,

I am writing a book regarding my family's time as Swedish missionaries to China from the years 1894 to 1951. 

In a source document is noted that John Alfred Rinell (min morfar's far) donated his Chinese ethnographical collection to the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. 

I don't know what year he may have made this donation. However, he arrived in China in 1894 and died in China in 1941.

Would the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences have record of John Alfred Rinell or of this donation? 

Thank you for any assistance you may be able to provide.

Kind regards,

Lennart Holmquist
