I am writing to request access to historical documents related to the previous tram system in the Philippines before World War II. I am currently undertaking an architectural research paper with the objective of proposing a modern tram system for Binondo, Manila, and I believe that examining the historical tram system can provide invaluable insights and inspiration for my project. To accomplish this research, I kindly request access to any available documents, photographs, maps, blueprints, or records related to the pre-World War II Tram System in Manila.
