The Reverend John Percy Money collection: Collingwood Bay, Oro Province, Papua New Guinea, 1901-1910

This comprehensive collection includes over 900 ethnographic and archaeological artefacts from the Collingwood Bay area. The value of the collection is significantly enhanced by the field notes and photographs (Money donated his glass plate negatives to the Museum) documenting the environment, people and their customs. Money’s collection provides an insight into the everyday as well as ceremonial life of Collingwood Bay people in the early 20th century.
