I am currently researching the topic of collecting during the colonial
period - especially that of natural history specimens (for more information
go to www.claireloughney.co.uk). As part of this research I am interested
in the legacy colonial collecting has left to museums today and would be
very grateful if anybody could give me any information on cases of
repatriation of natural history collections/specimens or any associated
information.

Thank you,
