ENGLAND: THE OTHER WITHIN

Analysing the English Collections at the Pitt Rivers Museum

Individuals and Institutions associated with Pitt Rivers Museum's English purchases 1884-2008

Alison Petch,
Researcher 'The Other Within' project

English artefacts have been purchased from a range of people between 1884 and 2008, some of them are dealers and some are commercial organizations like shops, but others are just individuals. Interestingly, some of the individuals chose sometimes to donate (that is, to give for nothing) artefacts to the museum, and at other times to sell their artefacts.

The relationships between these people and the Museum is different in almost every case, this will be considered in detail elsewhere. This page just gives the names of the people who sold material to the museum from England. You can find out more about each of these individuals on this database.
