Collecting the American West. The Rise and Fall of William Blackmore
The 1860s, the decade following Darwin’s publication of the Origin of Species (1859) was a period of intellectual ferment, especially in anthropology and archaeology. A cluster of luminaries spoke and wrote about evolution and set in motion in Britain the acceptance of the Three Age system of the Stone, Bronze and Iron Age. Independent collectors such as Henry Christy (1810–65), and institutional curators such Augustus Wollaston Franks (1826–97) …
Native American Ethnicity: A View from the British Museum1
Identity in Native North America is defined by legal, racial, linguistic and ethnic traits. This article looks at the nomenclature of both Indian, Eskimo and Native, and then places them in a historical context, in Canada and the United States.

New Evidence for the Contents of the Leverian Museum
The contents of eighteenth-century gentlemanly cabinets were seldom well recorded. The museum of Sir Ashton Lever (fl. 1771–1806), noted for Pacific ethnography and natural history, is an exception: the collections were listed 1784, catalogued for sale 1806, as well as being featured in educational and scientific publications. Most important of all were the watercolours of 1,000 artefacts and natural history specimens prepared by Sarah Stone. Thi…
