Introduction: basic characteristics of the Tylor collection
[article ID:395]
1.1 Identifying items with a direct Tylor connection
Note that in the searches on which this section is based, I looked simply for Tylor, not specifically for Edward Burnett Tylor. Hence Anna Tylor (EBT's widow) and other Tylors are included in the summary statistics in this section. These additional Tylors and their connections to EBT, are further discussed later.
Searching Objects PRM with Tylor in the PRM source field yields 1,576 records (4,296 objects) with accession numbers beginning 1945 or earlier. In addition, there are the following 8 records (8 objects) for items with accession numbers beginning with years after 1945:
given by E B Tylor and collected by George Brown; found unentered 1977
items given by F Millicent Tylor in 1978, having been earlier collected by E B Tylor
item given in ?1882 by R R Redding, via E B Tylor, collected C P Converse; found unentered 1988
donated and possibly collected by E B Tylor; found unentered 1989
possibly donated by E B Tylor in 1901; found unentered 2002
These 8 records have not been included in the analysis that follows.
Searching Objects PRM with Tylor in the field collector field and excluding all records with Tylor in the PRM source field (i.e. excluding any records already accounted for above), yields just 1 record (11 objects) with a pre-end-of-1945 accession number. This refers to a bunch of 11 rush lights from Wales (1932.88.100), probably collected by E B Tylor and certainly given by him in 1893 to Henry Balfour, from whom the PRM then received them in 1932. This record has been included in the analysis that follows.
Searching Objects PRM with Tylor in the other owners field, produces 23 further records (29 objects), all but one of which were donated by A Montgomery Bell (?Alexander Montgomerie Bell) in 1911 and were said to be from [EBT's] collection. All but one of these A M Bell items are from Australia, the exception (1 record, 7 items) comprising a Tibetan lama's divination outfit. The one record (one object) not referring to items donated by A M Bell in this group with Tylor in the other owners field, comprises an item purchased from Archibald Colquhoun Bell in 1920, and coming from his late father's (A M Bell's) collection – in this case being an object given by EBT in 1900 to A M Bell.
The analysis that follows includes all items known to have a Tylor connection and with a PRM accession number dating from before the end of 1945; i.e. it includes the 1,576 records with Tylor in the PRM source field, the one additional record with Tylor in the field collector field but not the PRM source field, and the 23 records with Tylor appearing in the other owners field only. Hence the total being considered here is 1600 records (4,325 objects).
Of these 1,600 records, closer inspection reveals that just 3 records (3 objects) do not have Edward Burnett Tylor (as opposed to just Tylor ) in one of the three search fields. These 3 items all have a definite or possible family connection to EBT (via his nephew or his brother and sister-in-law), and one has a contemporaneous related document written by EBT. All three have thus been included in the discussion that follows. They are:
collected by ?Mr Taylor before 1885, and donated in 1886 by J J Tylor (?Joseph John, EBT s nephew)
collected by ?Alfred Tylor (EBT's geologist brother), also owned by King Theodore of Abyssinia, and donated in 1886 by Mrs Alfred Tylor
1892.9.1 collected by ?Joseph John Tylor (EBT s nephew), and certainly given by him in 1892
Archaeology and ethnography
[article ID:396]
Working on the basis of numbers of records, approximately 45% of the Tylor collection is archaeological or possibly archaeological (50% if on the basis of numbers of objects instead), and 56% (51% if on the basis of numbers of objects) is ethnographic or possibly ethnographic.
The Tylor collection is thus pretty evenly balanced. Archaeology and ethnography are explored further below, in relation to region and other factors.
Regional and archaeological/ethnographic profile of the Tylor collection
3.1 Overall statistical profile, by region
[article ID:397]
The region most strongly represented in all records with a direct Tylor connection, at 31.1%, is Europe. The next most significant regions are America (28.1%), Asia (17.6%), Africa (10.6%) and Australia (9%).
However, if we look at these regional proportions by numbers of objects rather than by numbers of records, the most significant region is no longer Europe, but Australia, at 36.2%.
This difference in regional proportions depending on whether records or objects are the basis of enquiry, probably indicates little more than the substantive differences between archaeological and ethnographic collections, both generally with respect to museum documentation procedures (archaeological museum records, for example, are far more likely to cover more than one object in a single record), and more specifically for the Tylor collection (a large proportion of the Australia material in the Tylor collection is archaeological rather than ethnographic). In other words, because, when object and record numbers are totalled, there will be a greater discrepancy between the two totals for archaeological than for ethnographic records, and this discrepancy will pertain especially to collections in which a good proportion of the material is archaeological, as we find with Tylor, half of whose overall collection is archaeological. It therefore makes sense to take the analysis a little further.
3.2 Archaeological and ethnographic proportions, by region
Archaeology
Looking only at archaeological records – i.e. only records with A in the arch/eth field – we find that 38.5% of these archaeological records have an America provenance. The only other percentages over 5% are those for Europe (25.3% of the archaeological records), Africa (16.6% of the archaeological records) and Australia (15.8% of the archaeological records).
However, using numbers of objects rather than numbers of records as the basis of analysis yields rather different results, with Australia becoming very dominant, at 70.8% of all the archaeological objects in the Tylor collection. Other significant proportions of the archaeology material include America (12.9%), Europe (8.7%) and Africa (5.9%).
If we look at all of the Tylor collection (i.e. not only those classified as archaeology), using numbers of records as the basis of analysis the significance of America archaeology remains, with 17.4% of the entire collection s records being concerned with America archaeology, 11.4% with Europe archaeology, 7.5% with Africa archaeology, and 7.1% with Australia archaeology.
If, however, we change the basis of analysis to numbers of objects, Australia archaeology becomes the most significant archaeological component, at 35.4% of the whole collection, with the only other archaeological component over 5% being America archaeology (6.4% of entire number of objects).
Ethnography
Looking only at ethnographic records – i.e. only records with E in the arch/eth field – we find that 35.3% of these ethnographic records have a Europe provenance. The other percentages over 5% are those for Asia (29.9% of the ethnographic records), America (20.9%), Africa (5.6%) and Oceania (5.6%).
However, using numbers of objects rather than numbers of records as the basis of analysis yields rather different results, with Asia becoming dominant, at 45.5% of all the ethnographic objects in the Tylor collection. Other significant proportions of the ethnography material include Europe (31.4%), America (21.9%) and Africa (8.2%).
If we look at all records in the Tylor collection (i.e. not only those classified as ethnography), using numbers of records as the basis of analysis, the significance of Europe ethnography remains, with 19.8% of the entire collection's records being concerned with Europe ethnography, 16.8% with Asia ethnography, and, the only other proportion over 5%, 11.8% with America ethnography.
If, however, we use numbers of objects as the basis of analysis of the entire Tylor collection, Asia ethnography becomes the most significant ethnographic component, at 23% of the whole, followed by Europe ethnography (15.9% of entire number of objects) and America ethnography (11.1%).
Overall collection: significant components
By numbers of records, we can summarise the most significant components of the Tylor collection, in order of decreasing significance, thus:
Europe ethnography (19.8% of entire collection)
America archaeology (17.4%)
Asia ethnography (16.8%)
America ethnography (11.8%)
Europe archaeology (11.4%)
Africa archaeology (7.5%)
Australia archaeology (7.1%)
By numbers of objects, this hierarchy of significant components (those comprising 5% or more) in the overall Tylor collection changes to:
Australia archaeology (35.4% of entire collection)
Asia ethnography (23%)
Europe ethnography (15.9%)
America ethnography (11.1%)
America archaeology (6.4%)
These proportions of significant components may be regarded as the most meaningful of all the figures in this report s section 3 as, although numbers of objects are not reliable as absolute totals, here they probably give the clearest picture of trends and ratios.
The overall archaeological/ethnographic and regional profiles of the collection can be represented thus (where A = archaeology and E = ethnography):
Countries represented in the overall Tylor collection
[article ID:398]
A total of 70 countries (as defined by Objects PRM) are represented or possibly represented in the Tylor collection, indicating a very wide coverage indeed. In practice, however, only the following countries are given as the/a possible provenance for 1% or more of the entire Tylor collection (1% of the collection as defined by numbers of records or numbers of objects):

Australia, Japan and the UK, in that order and when assessed in terms of numbers of objects, are clearly the most significant countries.
People and networks
PRM sources of items with a direct Tylor connection
[article ID:399]
A direct Tylor connection is here defined as Tylor as field collector or other owner or PRM source.
Of the relevant 1,576 records (4,296 objects), the PRM sources – i.e. the last node in the network of relationships along which the items travelled to reach their final destination in the PRM – can be broken down as follows, with the distinct PRM sources highlighted in bold:
Items undoubtedly given by Edward Burnett Tylor himself (686 records/1,371 objects)
Items given by Anna Tylor, EBT's widow, in 1917 (762 records/2,766 objects, plus 1 record/7 objects found unentered in 1945, plus 13 records/13 objects entered in the database as given by EBT or AT or, in 12 of the 13 cases, Dorothy and AT s executors, but almost certainly given by AT after EBT s death but before her own)
Items given by Dorothy Tylor (EBT's and Anna's niece) and the executors of Anna Tylor in 1921 (98 records/113 objects; although note that of these 94 records/107 objects have a 1917 not 1921 accession number, and 4 records/6 objects have a 1921 accession number)
Items given or possibly given by Joseph John Tylor, EBT's nephew (4 records/4 objects)
Item given by Louis Edward Tylor, EBT's nephew (1 record/1 object)
Item given by Mrs Alfred Tylor, EBT's sister-in-law (1 record/1 object)
Items from Dr Tylor s collection given by A Montgomery Bell (?Alexander Montgomerie Bell) (21 records/21 objects) in 1911
Items given by Henry Balfour (1 record/11 objects)
Items given by Everard Im Thurn via EBT (5 records/5 objects)
Item given by Robert Murdoch Smith via EBT (1 record/1 object)
Item given by Major Grant via EBT (1 record/1 object)
Item purchased from Archibald Colquhoun Bell (1 record/1 object)
Items given possibly by EBT or by Henry Balfour (12 records/12 objects)
Items given possibly by EBT or as part of the Augustus Henry Lane Fox Pitt Rivers Founding Collection (1 record/10 objects)
Items given possibly by EBT or as part of the Augustus Henry Lane Fox Pitt Rivers Founding Collection or by Henry Nottidge Moseley or by the Smithsonian Institution via John Wesley Powell (4 records/6 objects)
Interestingly, of the eleven PRM sources other than Tylor himself, five are close relatives of Tylor. Of these relatives, Anna, Tylor s wife, is the most significant.
Excluding the last three categories in the list above (where there is significant uncertainty over the PRM source), the PRM sources of the Tylor collection can be pictorially represented thus:
Other owners
[article ID:400]
Other than EBT himself (51.6% of the collection by numbers of objects), the only significant (more than 1% of the collection) other owners named as other owners for records in which they are not also field collectors and/or PRM sources, are Anna Tylor (66.6%) and John Wesley Powell (1.8%). EBT and Anna thus overwhelmingly dominate.
Field collectors
[article ID:401]
There are 73 individuals given as definite or possible field collectors of items in the Tylor collection, although many of these are responsible for only one or two objects. All these individuals, together with all other names cropping up in the PRM source and other owner fields, are further analysed in section 5.4 below. Suffice to say here that the most significant (defined as representing 1% or more of the collection) may be pictorially represented as follows:
Excluding EBT himself, two of the others are related to him: Francis Fox Tuckett (EBT's wife's brother-in-law) and Louis Edward Tylor (EBT's nephew). Family connections are thus again significant here.
Looking at the field collection of all items in the Tylor collection, and using numbers of records as the basis of analysis, a Tylor (note that Tylor could here refer to a number of Tylors other than Edward himself), is responsible or probably responsible for the field collection of 52.5% of the overall Tylor collection. Looking instead at numbers of objects, a Tylor is given as the definite or likely field collector of just 25.2% of the collection.
More specifically, by numbers of records definite or possible field collectors represented by the overall Tylor collection can be grouped thus:
other Tylors (excluding EBT): 6.6%
non-Tylors: 47.5%[1]
The same groupings calculated instead according to numbers of objects, are thus:
EBT himself: 22.7%
other Tylors (excluding EBT): 2.5%
non-Tylors: 74.8%
Two interesting facts are demonstrated by these figures:
firstly, the importance of field collectors other than Tylor himself when the overall Tylor collection is compared to, say, the Seligman collection (an overwhelming proportion of which was collected by Charles or Brenda Seligman themselves); i.e. the significance of networking/connections with other collectors is strong for Tylor
secondly, the relative significance of Tylor's family connections; certainly, they are not as numerically important as other field collectors represented within the Tylor collection, but they are nonetheless significant
Overall categories of individuals with a direct connection to the Tylor collection
From the perspective of our wider project, it is interesting to look more closely at the 77 individuals other than EBT himself and others with the surname Tylor , directly associated with the Tylor collection as field collectors, other owners and donors.
These individuals essentially fall into two groups:
those with no known object-related connection to the PRM other than that via Tylor:

Those listed in b above, i.e. those for whom Tylor is not their only connection to the PRM, can be further sub-divided into the following sets (note that there is some intersection of these sets, marked with *):
Those who are also a PRM source of material collected or thought to have been collected in the field by themselves:
[article ID:404]
*A Montgomery (Montgomerie) Bell
A W Brown
*Alfred Comyn Lyall
*Archibald Colquhoun Bell
*Arthur John Evans
*Basil Hall Chamberlain
*Benjamin Harrison
Cornelis Marinus Pleyte
*Everard Im Thurn
Francis Fox Tuckett
*Frederick Starr
*Greville John Chester
Gulielma Lister
*Henry Balfour
J Strode Wilson
James Leigh Strachan-Davidson
James Theodore Bent
*John Linton Myres
John Oliver Wardrop
Mr Taylor
*Richard Carnac Temple
*Sydney John Hickson
*William Crooke
William George Aston
*William Wyatt Gill
Those who are also a PRM source of material collected or thought to have been collected in the field by others
[article ID:405]
*A Montgomery (Montgomerie) Bell
*Alfred Comyn Lyall
*Archibald Colquhoun Bell
*Arthur John Evans
*Basil Hall Chamberlain
Francis Fox Tuckett
*Henry Balfour
*John Linton Myres
John Wesley Powell
*Richard Carnac Temple
*William Crooke
Those who are also a field collector or possible field collector named in PRM collections other than Tylor s or their own (the latter defined by these individuals being PRM source):
[article ID:406]
*A Montgomery (Montgomerie) Bell
*Arthur John Evans
*Benjamin Harrison
C C Abbott
David Thomas
*Everard Im Thurn
*Frederick Starr
Giuseppe Bellucci
*Greville John Chester
*Henry Balfour
James Stevenson
*John Linton Myres
John V Cook
Joseph Paxton Moir
*Richard Carnac Temple
Robert Murdoch Smith
*Sydney John Hickson
*William Crooke
*William Wyatt Gill
In other words, some of these individuals, as well as being field collectors of material in the Tylor collection are also direct donors to the PRM in their own right, though not field collectors of items in collections other than their own and Tylor's. Still others are not only donors in their own right, but also field collectors of items in other collections. Furthermore, of those who are also donors in their own right, some have donated only material collected by themselves, whereas others lead us into further networks by having donated material collected by others.
These sets can be represented pictorially as follows (I have had not time to do these diagrams, which would take similar form to those done for Seligman):

Statistical significance, in the PRM collections as a whole, of individuals with direct connection to Tylor collection
[article ID:407]
Looking at the PRM's object collections as a whole to the end of 1945, nine of the individuals directly associated with Tylor (excluding Tylor himself) are reckoned to have field collected, donated, and/or be otherwise associated with more than 400 objects. These individuals are A M Bell, A C Bell, Arthur J Evans, Basil Hall Chamberlain, Henry Balfour, John V Cook, Joseph Paxton Moir, Richard Carnac temple, and William Crooke.).

Appendix: individual connections beyond Tylor and our other named collectors
This appendix lists individuals with surnames other than Tylor and other than native/local donors,[2] who are named in direct association with the Tylor collection, and details their connections with the PRM collections up to 1945 other than with the Tylor collection itself or with any of our other named collectors (including Mills and Hutton). That is, this appendix lists how far these individuals are represented in the PRM collections to 1945 other than in direct association with Tylor or any of our project's other named collectors. It is therefore a list of first level connections in a Tylor/other named collector-centric network diagram.
The other PRM connection is given in the form of two numbers, e.g. 149/193 coll/?coll by A Montgomerie Bell and himself as PRM source – this means that 149 records/193 objects are said or thought to have been collected and donated by A M Bell.
If there are sometimes inconsistencies/apparent contradictions between information given here and that given in section 5.4 above, they are explained by the absence in the information below, but not in section 5.4, of direct connections with other of our named collectors. For example, in 5.4 above, William Crooke is named as someone who is also a field collector or possible field collector named in PRM collections other than Tylor's or their own, whereas below his connections other than via our named collectors are given only as items collected and donated by himself; this is because in his case the other collection in which he is named as a field collector, is Balfour's, and as Balfour is one of our project's named collectors he is omitted from the information below (instead, for direct connections through Balfour [or Pitt Rivers et al.], see separate Balfour [or whoever] file[SD1]).
The methodology used to generate the information below was as follows:
I used the version of objects PRM cloned in May 2003, containing only accession numbers up to 1945 inclusive (objects prm to 1945 14-05-03.fp5)
I conducted 3 searches for each individual in the lefthand column:
searching for that individual in the field collector field, but omitting records with that individual in field collector field AND (each of following in separate level of search criteria) Blackwood (in notes field), Pitt Rivers (in PRM source field), Balfour (in notes field), Mills (in PRM source field), Hutton (in PRM source field), Seligman (in PRM source field), and Tylor (in PRM source field).
searching for that individual in the PRM source field, but omitting records with that individual in PRM source field AND (each of following in separate level of search criteria) that individual in field collector field, Blackwood (in notes field), Pitt Rivers (in PRM source field), Balfour (in notes field), Mills (in PRM source field), Hutton (in PRM source field), Seligman (in PRM source field), and Tylor (in PRM source field).
searching for that individual in the other owners field, but omitting records with that individual in other owners AND (each of following in separate level of search criteria) that individual in field collector field, that individual in PRM source field, Blackwood (in notes field), Pitt Rivers (in PRM source field), Balfour (in notes field), Mills (in PRM source field), Hutton (in PRM source field), Seligman (in PRM source field), and Tylor (in PRM source field).

Total number of objects donated by the named collectors |
4285** |
|
Tylor ** |
I have made the following chart but the percentages have been worked out according to the total 6,264. (The large number of segments meant that I could not get the labels to fit round the chart, so had to use a colour key instead.) Furthermore, the classes are not mutually exclusive. This means that the following chart can only be taken as a rough indicator of the spread of the top twenty classes. It does not represent 100% of the Tylor collection and should be used with caution.

[1] Note there is some overlap – i.e. the figures add up to slightly more than 100 – because some records name more than one possible field collector.
[2] The native/local donors have been left out not because they are considered generally less significant, but because they are not included in our current research into PRM-centred collecting and object-moving networks in the colonial era. In later research stages, however, these individuals may take on a more central role.
