Biographical history
Hugh Campbell-Brown was a medical doctor in Vernon, B.C., whose father was a missionary doctor in China. The father of Campbell-Brown assembled a collection of coins that date from 255 B.C. to 1910, and the Museum of Anthropology acquired these coins from Hugh Campbell-Brown in the early 1980s.
Custodial history
Scope and content
Fonds consists of papers that appear to be the beginning of a catalogue of Chinese charms and coins that were hand drawn. It is not clear whether they are specific to the Campbell-Brown collection of Chinese coins that were acquired by the Museum of Anthropology. However, they were acquired in the same trunk as the Campbell-Brown collection of Chinese coins.
