I am writing my Master's thesis on some of the collectors of a large ethnographical museum in the Netherlands. Has anybody got suggestions regarding literature not to miss about colonial collecting processes? >Daan van Dartel > ========= March 12, 2003 The numismatic (coins, tokens, medals and paper money studying and collecting) books of Q. David Bowers often have touched on collecting habits of the 19th century and sometimes before. Also, there have been books about book and document collecting in the 18th century and earlier. But not being a book collector I can't give you a name. -Jim -- Jim Lyons [log in to unmask] http://www.jimlyons.com ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
