The Collection in Focus
While all 60 objects in the collection have been catalogued, we chose to place these objects in focus. These objects have undergone more significant provenance research to uncover their origins and the journey of ‘The Anthropology Teaching Collection’ in Edinburgh.
We hope that following groups can dedicate the time needed to further give the objects the respect and time they deserve to correctly tell their stories.
