Context (Acquisition Details)
On 10 November 1920, Maynard, curator at the Ipswich Museum, wrote to A.C. Haddon to inform him of the imminent dispatch of a collection of East African material formed by Sir Frederick Jackson. Earlier that year, Maynard had acquired the bulk of the Jackson collection for the Ipswich Museum. The remainder of Jackson’s collection was then kept in storage.
Maynard arranged for the stored collection to be dispatched to MAA on 16 November 1920. It was formally accessioned in 1921. Although historically MAA presented the Ipswich Museum as the donor of the collection, Ipswich Museum (through Maynard) was only a mediator in its transfer. Sir F. Jackson has thus been reinstated as both collector and donor of the collection.

(Both letters referred to above can be found in MAA’s archives, correspondence collection).
