Liggins Collection Dr James B Liggins of Thames was one of the curio hunters who built their collection from the Oruarangi site. He dug there himself but also employed his son and contemporaries of his son to do the digging on a 'pay for finds' basis (Pers. com. from son to G Law, 1968). His collection in large part was purchased by Auckland Musum in 1945 and the remainder disbursed when sold at auction in 1971 [1].
