Anthropological perspectives on ethnographic collecting by Australian colonial administrators in Papua and New Guinea and their contribution to museum collections.

从人类学角度看澳大利亚殖民统治者在巴布亚和新几内亚的民族志收藏及其对博物馆收藏的贡献。在巴布亚新几内亚的澳大利亚殖民统治者建立了大量的民族志收藏。本研究将考察从巴布亚新几内亚土著居民那里获得“民族志”物品的背景，特别强调休伯特·默里爵士的作用。这将是第一次对澳大利亚国家博物馆收藏的大量巴布亚新几内亚藏品的历史和文化背景进行研究。它将为澳大利亚作为太平洋殖民大国的角色提供一个新的视角，使用民族志对象来探索政府关键人物与土著人民之间的关系。

Anthropological perspectives on ethnographic collecting by Australian colonial administrators in Papua and New Guinea and their contribution to museum collections. Australian colonial administrators in PNG built up large ethnographic collections. This study will examine the contexts in which 'ethnographic' objects were acquired from Indigenous peoples in PNG with particular emphasis on the role of Sir Hubert Murray. This will be the first study to examine the historical and cultural context of the large PNG collections now held by the National Museum of Australia. It will provide a new perspective on Australia's role as a colonial power in the Pacific using ethnographic objects to explore the relationship between key figures in the Administration and Indigenous people.
