Dear Julia,
I'm sure you would find Chris Gosden and Chantal Knowles' excellent recent
book
useful. It looks at museum collections to investigate collectors in New
Britain in the first decades of the 20th century in relation to the material
culture of colonialism.
Full ref:
Gosden, C. and C. Knowles 2001.Collecting Colonialism. Material Culture and
Colonial Change. Oxford and New York: Berg
Best wishes,
Dan Hicks
