Related Documents File - A photocopy of 'Colonial and Indian Exhibition: London 1886. CATALOGUE OF THE EXHIBITS OF THE COLONY OF THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.' There is an original copy of this in the Bodleian. This catalogue contains a detailed list of the Dunn Collection of stone tools and pottery. The objects are listed by type, with their provenance and cultural group listed. The objects are catalogued in this exhibition by letter/number combination [A1; B26; J42] etc, which refers to the labels that are still on many of the objects in the Dunn Collection. When a label was found on an object I have listed it in the 'Other numbers' field as well as in the Notes field as 'Pre-PRM label'. Some of the labels have fallen off or are illegible.
