Abstract:

Pitt Rivers Museum is one of the major anthropological museums in the world and as such has considerable object collections from Nigeria. Less known is its archive collection which contains a small but interesting collection of material relating to Nigeria. The Museum has been collecting archival material since its foundation in 1884 and the collections are still growing annually as more material is donated. At present the entire collection stands in the region of sixty manuscript collections of varying sizes and about 70,000 photographic images. The archive collections do not document specifi

Abstract:

Pests pose a significant risk to natural science collections with appreciable resources invested in prevention, monitoring and eradication. Despite best efforts, infestations do still occur in the vast majority of museums at one time or another. Tackling these can be an expensive, time-consuming and labour-intensive undertaking that can also affect staff morale. In some circumstances, however, having to deal with infestations can have positive long-term outcomes. In 2017, a small team of Conservation and Collection Management staff at Otago Museum were required to deal with a carpet beetle out

AbstractThe Odessa Museum of Archaeology was founded in 1825 by local antiquarians. The museum's collection grew in part due to excavations of classical sites in the region, in part due to gifts and purchases from dealers in classical antiquities.

In the post-war period this expanded to include the whole of the ancient history of the region from the Stone Age to the Middle Ages.

Abstract:

One of the major issues confronting U. S. courts in international cultural property cases is the significance of foreign export restriction violations. This is a particularly sensitive issue for museums in art purchasing nations since aggressive support of the view that export restriction violation is theft could result in the return of much of a museum's collection. In fact, Thomas Hoving, past director of New York's Metropolitan Museum of Art stated, “almost every antiquity that has arrived in America in the past ten to twenty years has broken the laws of the country from which it came.”

The arrival at Ironbridge of the George Maw collection in the spring of 1985 was the first step in a major and exciting scheme to introduce geological and mining material into the Museum's collections and displays. With his own keen interest in geology, the Director, Stuart Smith, fully recognises the important role that the unique geology of the Shropshire Basin played in the industrial development of Ironbridge, birthplace of the Industrial Revolution. During 1985 he set up a Mining and Geology Group to advise the Museum on promoting these 'new'collections. Eight potential geological display
