Context (Amendments / updates)
The Accession Register description for E 1905.519 D-G lists Umtali (now known as Mutare) as the place of collection, although South Africa is listed in the Place column. This is also the place listed on all of the object labels.
The catalogue card has Umtali in the top right corner, but Salisbury (now known as Harare) is listed at the end of the descriptions.
Mutare has been listed in the upper Place field, and Harare has now been added to the Production tab.
