Scotland, within a wider British context, has a long history of collecting Pacific material culture through links with Scottish soldiers, missionaries, traders, explorers and emigrants. This includes some of the earliest museum collections from the Hawaiian Islands collected during Captain James Cook's third voyage (1776-80), early and rare objects from Hawaii and the Pitcairn Islands compiled by Captain Frederick Beechey's voyage on HMS Blossom (1825-28), and significant material from the Austral Islands donated through Sir Thomas Brisbane, Governor of New South Wales (1821-5).Focusing on National Museums Scotland's late 18th and early 19th century Pacific collections, this PhD will investigate the intellectual networks and connections between Scotland and the Pacific that led to the formation of these collections, and demonstrate their past and current relevance to a variety of stakeholders. In doing so it will explore the roles that these collections play now in the developing relationships between Scottish museums and museums in countries of origin.

在更广泛的英国背景下，苏格兰通过与苏格兰士兵、传教士、商人、探险家和移民的联系，拥有收集太平洋物质文化的悠久历史。其中包括詹姆斯·库克船长第三次航行（1776-80 年）期间收集的一些来自夏威夷群岛的最早的博物馆藏品、由弗雷德里克·比奇船长乘坐 HMS Blossom 航行（1825-28 年）收集的来自夏威夷和皮特凯恩群岛的早期稀有物品，以及新南威尔士州州长托马斯·布里斯班爵士捐赠的来自南方群岛的重要材料 (1821-5)。该博士将重点关注苏格兰国家博物馆 18 世纪末和 19 世纪初太平洋地区的藏品，研究导致这些藏品形成的苏格兰和太平洋地区之间的知识网络和联系，并展示它们过去和现在与各种利益相关者的相关性。在此过程中，它将探讨这些藏品在苏格兰博物馆与原籍国博物馆之间发展关系中所发挥的作用。
