Context (Acquisition Details)
The Arkell collection was first deposited at MAA in 1937. In 1954, some material was transferred and gifted to the Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford. The rest of the original deposit was gifted to MAA. New accession numbers were not assigned to the collection, so Arkell collection objects continue to be known by their D numbers, despite no longer being on deposit.
