  • H.D. Skinner's Use of Associates Within the Colonial
    Tuhinga 26: 20–30 Copyright © Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa (2015) H.D.Skinner’s use of associates within the colonial administrative structure of the Cook Islands in the development of Otago Museum’s Cook Islands collections Ian Wards National Military Heritage Charitable Trust, PO Box 6512, Marion Square, Wellington, New Zealand ([email protected]) ABSTRACT: During his tenure at Otago Museum (1919–57), H.D.Skinner assembled the largest Cook Islands collection of any museum in New Zealand. This paper shows that New Zealand’s colonial administrative structure was pivotal in the development of these collections, but that they were also the result of complex human interactions, motivations and emotions. Through an analysis of Skinner’s written correspondence, examples are discussed that show his ability to establish relationships where objects were donated as expressions of personal friendship to Otago Museum. The structure of the resulting collection is also examined. This draws out Skinner’s personal interest in typological study of adzes and objects made of stone and bone, but also highlights the increasing scarcity of traditional material culture in the Cook Islands by the mid-twentieth century, due in part to the activities of other collectors and museums. KEYWORDS: H.D.Skinner, Otago Museum, Cook Islands, colonialism, material culture. Introduction individuals, exchanges with museums, private donations and, significantly, the purchase by the New Zealand government During his tenure as ethnologist (1919–57) and, later, of the Oldman collection in 1948, Otago Museum’s Cook director of Otago Museum, Henry Devenish Skinner Islands collection grew to be the largest in New Zealand.

The Sumerians in ancient Mesopotamia did it more than 4 000 years ago. Later, Alexander the Great was said to take special care of his collection of bears and monkeys. The Aztecs in the Americas, the early Chinese – both groups caged animals. The first modern zoo opened to the public in Vienna, Austria, in 1779, and the first public aquarium opened in London in 1853. These establishments have changed Artists drawing the animals at the Jardin des drastically since, slowly changing to provide larger Plantes in Paris, 1902 and more natural environments for animals, as people’s empathy toward them grows. This is an international trend that has implications for similar establishments in New Zealand, as people are questioning how we keep animals in zoos and aquariums. 3 THE NATURE AND CAUSE OF THE CONFLICT Six million animals are estimated to live in captivity for human entertainment.
