Bernie Baffour and David Lucas recently visited Claire Sheridan, Senior Collections Advisor, ANU, and she has given this update on the largely forgotten ANU African Collection:

‘The ANU Collections team recently re-located the London Collection of African Artefacts (primarily containing material from Nigeria, Ghana and Benin, collected between 1901-1920 by Arthur London) from Kioloa Coastal Campus to the ANU Campus in preparation for conservation work, cataloguing and re-boxing. Our next step will be to start a research project on the Collection’s provenance and assess the significance of this material so that we can determine the future of this Collection at the ANU.’
