Private Collections
Samson (2003) gives an insight into the motivations and behaviours of collectors who operated in Otago.
Many of these collections have found their way to museums, in whole or in part, after dispersal.
Some collections of European artefacts - particularly of bottles - have grown the same way. The advent of the protection of archaeological sites dating from before 1900 AD under the Historic Places Act has limited some sources, but many found European objects are still finding their way to private collections.
This category is to highlight some of the important collections which are part of our historic heritage.
Reference
Samson, J. O. 2003. Cultures of collecting: Maori curio collecting in Murihiku, 1865-1975 A dissertation submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand.
