Tribal Retainer Naivasha Province EAP No 29, 1900 - 1960

 Item
Reference Code: GBR/0115/RCS/ORCS.4.10.03
Scope and Contents From the Fonds:

Soon after its foundation in 1868, the Royal Colonial Institute had envisaged the establishment of a museum, but following the 1886 Colonial and Indian Exhibition in South Kensington, and the creation of the Imperial Institute, the plan was abandoned. Over the years, however, the society built up a small, eclectic collection of objects as members donated items they had received as gifts or purchased during work or travel overseas.
