Most of Pitt-Rivers' second collection has been dispersed and all that is left is a virtual collection documented in his catalogue volumes. Sometimes, however, the project team has found out information about where the objects are now. Some of these instances have also provided images / photographs of the objects. These are interesting because they provide a useful comparison to the catalogue drawings, allowing the drawings' accuracy to be assessed. Further instances were provided here and an article talking about the accuracy to the drawings is available here.
