The New Zealand Maori collection in the Peabody Museum of Salem

documentary heritage
  • Description

    "The New Zealand Maori Collection in the Peabody Museum of Salem is the fourth of a series of catalogues giving detailed descriptions and illustrations of the specimens in the Polynesian collections in this Museum. Many of the objects in these collections are of more than average interest because their early known date of accession prohibits any European influence upon them.

    Some of these specimens were collected as curiosities in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries and given to the Museum of the Salem East India Marine Society."--Foreword.
