Research and responses: Objects in the original Reid collection have gone to various places. 1946.7.96 - 1946.7.124 were sent to the Musee de l'Homme in 1946. 1946.7.85 - 1946.7.95 seem to have been intended to be sent to Paris, but did not go. 1946.7.5 - 1946.7.84, the remainder of the accessioned collection, were kept at the PRM from the beginning. A further group of items never accessioned were sent to the National Museet in Copenhagen in 1947 (the latter group are listed in a single record with REID in accession number field). [SD 27/6/2000]
