This paper will examine two early folklore collections: the Mary Alicia Owen Collection of Mesquakie beadwork and the Margaret Hasluck collection of Balkan textiles and folklore. The collections will be analysed within the historical context of the collecting of material folklore and its place within museums. The focus will be upon the methods the collectors used to create their collections, addressing the extent of indigenous agency within the collection process. The paper will demonstrate how alternative angles on cultural interactions can be provided by using collections as social testimony
