This volume resulted from an international conference that took place in November 2022 at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen. The aim was to examine the colonial dimensions of the global wildlife trade in the first half of the 20th century, and its connections to other forms of trade, e.g., with human remains, animal material or ethnographic objects. In particular, the papers scrutinise the legacy of this trade - in the regions of origin, but also in European and North American institutions.
The conference and the volume are linked to the project "The global networks of the animal trading companies Reiche and Ruhe - provenance research on the circulation of animals, humans and objects in the 19th and 20th centuries”, which is based at the Chair of Modern History at the University of Göttingen and is funded by the German Lost Art Foundation. It is conducted in cooperation with the Municipal Museum of Alfeld and the Network for Provenance Research in Lower Saxony.
