Title: Bone collectors 2: The plunder of New Zealand's ancestral graves for science*
Publisher: INZART/The University of Auckland Library=Te Tumu Herenga
Abstract: "New Zealand's first museums were built upon the abundant stocks of moa bones and stuffed birds available for exchange or sale to overseas institutions in the late 19th century. Collections modeled on a Western European taxonomy formed the foundations of the new museums and helped to establish the credentials of a budding colonial scientific elite - Thomas Cheeseman in Auckland, James Hector in Wellington and German-born Julius von Haast, who founded the Canterbury Museum in Christchurch."
Description: 3 colour: ink drawings by Robley
6 b/w museum interiors and portraits: Hector, Haast, Fuller and Reischek.
