Notes and papers on the art and anthropology of the Massim. 1917-42.
Various papers, drawings, photographs and sketches. Various sizes.
Handwritten, typewritten and printed.
Presented by Dr T. Elder Dickson, 19 July 1969, see A 105/1/23.
In 1927 Camilla Wedgwood wrote notes to many of the photographs and was probably instrumental in identifying and collating many of the Massim art photographs. This work was undertaken in the expectation of publishing a joint work with CGS, but Miss Wedgwood was offered fieldwork in the Pacific. Afterwards she went to Sydney as principal of a woman’s college, so the project was never completed.
At the request of CGS, Dr Ronald Fairbairn suggested Dr Thomas Elder Dickson, in 1939, as a collaborator on a projected publication intended as a general survey of Massim art in the light of the information collected by CGS about native interpretations of common design motifs.
Many photographs were collected from fieldwork 1903-4, and all photographs are filed separately within MS 364.
CGS presented the original drawings from The Melanesians of British New Guinea to the Pitt Rivers Museum; he presented the objects collected in Collingwood Bay to the Sydney Museum; he presented his ethnographic specimens to the Cambridge Museum of Anthropology and Archaeology; and he presented his collection of glass, beads, porcelain and bronzes to the British Museum.
