Between the 1870s and the 1930s competing European powers carved
out and consolidated colonies in Melanesia, the most culturally
diverse region of the world. As part of this process, great
assemblages of ethnographic artefacts were made by a range of
collectors whose diversity is captured in this volume. The
contributors to this tightly-integrated volume take these
collectors, and the collecting institutions, as the departure point
for accounts that look back at the artefact-producing societies and
their interaction with the collectors, but also forward to the fate
of the collections in metropolitan museums, as the artefacts have
been variously exhibited, neglected, re-conceived as indigenous
heritage, or repatriated. In doing this, the contributors raise
issues of current interest in anthropology, Pacific history, art
history, museology, and material culture.
