„On the Trail of the Collectors” presents the results of a provenance research project conducted at the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim in 2017/18. The focus of the project was on the provenance of ethnographic objects that came to Hildesheim from the comprehensive holdings of the Royal Museum of Ethnology in Berlin at the turn of the 19th/20th century, and on the circumstances under which these objects were acquired. Most of these artefacts from almost every continent were collected in colonial contexts. The volume provides biographical information on the collectors, and a discussion of the very heterogeneous ways in which they acquired ethnographic objects.

Sabine Lang was trained in cultural anthropology, ancient American studies, and European prehistory at the Universities of Tübingen and Hamburg. After taking her doctoral degree at the University of Hamburg in 1990, she was active as an independent scholar for many years. Since 2017 she has been conducting provenance research at the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim, currently in the context of the joint project “Provenance Research in Non-European Collections and Ethnography in Lower Saxony” (PAESE).

Andrea Nicklisch was trained in ancient American studies, cultural anthropology, and European Prehistory. From 2005 until 2009 she worked as a project coordinator and curator of exhibitions at the Ethnological Museum Berlin. She obtained her doctorate from the University of Hamburg in July 2014. Since July 2015 she has been curator of the ethnographic collection at the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim.
