大英博物館(British Museum)成立於1753年,是位於英國倫敦的知名綜合博物館。它是世界上規模最大、最重要的博物館之一;目前擁有超過700萬件的藏品,網羅來自世界各地重要的文化遺產。其中也包含採集自臺灣的民族學文物將近400件。
目前這些臺灣文物,主要由該館的亞洲部負責典藏管理。自2007年起,臺灣大學人類學系的胡家瑜教授連續兩年透過「推動海外臺灣民族學藏品資料交流網絡:大英博物館民族學部門『臺灣收藏』」計畫,建立與大英博物館亞洲部的合作關係,展開相關文物、影像、和原始典藏脈絡的研究和數位資料建置工作。相關研究成果與臺灣大學數位典藏研究發展中心技術合作,結合數位化科技與網路平台功能,將研究成果轉化為數位化資料與查詢系統,期使這批具有特殊歷史意義和文化價值的臺灣文化遺產,能夠再度呈現在社會大眾面前,並進一步發揮其未來應用的可能性。
大英博物館的臺灣民族學藏品,主要是19世紀中葉至20世紀初期,西方外交官員、傳教士、探險家或研究者與臺灣跨文化接觸互動過程中,所採集並輾轉帶到英國的早期臺灣文物,大部分是臺灣原住民各族群的文物。這些藏品不僅能夠展現一百多年前臺灣的物質生活訊息,也可以反映出早期臺灣社會與西方接觸互動的歷史足跡。經過初步分析與研究,目前大英博物館的臺灣藏品,依其來源管道與入館時間先後,大致可以區分為四大類:
(1)克里斯帝藏品(Christy Collection): 這批收藏是19世紀末期大英博物館民族學部的法蘭克主任(A. W. Franks),運用當時著名業餘民族學收藏家與研究者克里斯帝(Henry Christy)死後捐贈經費成立的克里斯帝基金(Christy Foundation),採購而來的民族學標本。主要包括臺灣1850年代對外開港之後,首批來臺經商、傳教、探險的英國人所採集的臺灣文物約計40件。其中最負盛名者如首任英國駐台領事和自然史學者 Robert Swinhoe(史溫侯、斯文豪、郇和),於1860至1866年駐臺期間所採集植物纖維編製品,如竹籐編籃、草蓆、草葉扇等。另外,如1871至1917年期間在臺宣教的英國長老教會牧師William Campbell(甘為霖),他所採集的狗毛織花短衣、繡花腰帶、煙草袋、竹片口簧琴、玉扳指、錫製香爐等,也是現今難得見到的臺灣物質文化樣本。
(2)日英博覽會(White City Japan-British Exhibition)捐贈文物: 另一批臺灣文物的重要來源,則是1910年日本與英國在倫敦近郊共同舉辦的日英博覽會(Japan-British Exhibition)。這次博覽會是日本政府在海外舉辦規模最大的一次博覽會,除了宣揚日本的科技和文化進步之外,也將臺灣殖民地的統治成果當作展覽重點。因此,其中設置有「臺灣廳」,展示臺灣產業和文化特色文物,並設有一座居住有南排灣族人進行真人展演的「福爾摩沙土著村」。此次博覽會結束後,臺灣總督府將約210件展出的臺灣文物,捐贈給大英博物館,成為該館臺灣藏品最大量的來源。
(3)倫敦皇家植物園-邱園(Kew Botanical Gardens)移轉文物: 大英博物館的臺灣收藏,還有一批是1960年由倫敦皇家植物園-邱園(Kew Botanical Gardens)移轉過來的文物。這一批文物總計約有30件,主要是十九世紀中葉1860至1910年代期間,Robert Swinhoe、Thomas Watters、P. E. O’Brien Bulter、H. J. Elwes、W. R. Price和George Phillips 等人在台灣採集的植物纖維製品。原本這些文物收藏在倫敦皇家植物園,但1960年邱園(Kew Botanical Gardens)因庫房空間不足,將一批非植物標本性文物,移轉給幾個民族學博物館;大英博物館是其中主要的一間。
(4)個人採集者採集和捐贈文物: 主要是私人收藏零星捐贈給大英博物館的文物。來源多是過去曾到臺灣居住、工作或進行調查的西方人士,例如William Campbell、Elizabeth Keith、G. J. Gomme、D. L. McMullen、Martin Nettleship、以及William Buller Fagg等人所採集的文物,約90件。這些藏品採集年代較分散,從1870至1970之間都有。

The British Museum (BM), established in 1753 and located in London, England, is a museum of human history and culture. Its collections, which are among the largest and most comprehensive in the world as they originate from all continents, number more than 7 million objects. Of these, about 400 ethnological artifacts collected from Taiwan in its Asia Department.
Since 2007, Professor Chia-yu Hu from the Department of Anthropology of the National Taiwan University has been working with related departments in the British Museum on a project called “Information Exchange and Research on Taiwan Ethnological Collections.” This cooperative endeavor involves the research of important collections which are currently stored in the Ethnology Department of the British Museum. It primarily involves the documentation of the material and indigenous cultures of Taiwan during the mid-19th and early 20th centuries. With technological support from the Research Center for Digital Humanities of National Taiwan University, the research output is now available in digital format with search functions on an Internet-based platform. With this, the general public in Taiwan can access the Taiwanese collections in the British Museum, which vividly represent the vibrant Taiwanese cultural and historical heritage.
The Taiwan objects in BM were mainly collected through cross-cultural activities in earlier times and were brought back to England by Western diplomats, missionaries, explorers, businessmen, and researchers during the period from mid-19th century to the early 20th century. Furthermore, most of these belonged to the different tribes of the indigenous Taiwanese people. These objects not only represent the material life in Taiwan about a hundred years ago but also vividly reflect the dynamic interaction between Taiwanese and Western cultures at that time. According to preliminary analysis and research, the Taiwanese collections in the British Museum can be divided into four categories:
(1) Christy Collection There are 40 ethnological artifacts purchased through Christy Foundation by A. W. Franks, Director of the Ethnology Department of the British Museum in the late 19th century. This collection includes the objects collected by British explorers, businessmen, and missionaries who arrived in Taiwan around the 1850s to 1870s. Robert Swinhoe, the first British Consulate posted in Taiwan from 1860 to 1866, collected many woven crafts such as plaited baskets, straw mats, and grass fans. Meanwhile, William Campbell, a missionary from England who preached Presbyterianism in Taiwan from 1871 to 1917, collected a wide variety of specimens including dog-hair embroidered short upper garments, woven belts, tobacco pouches, a bamboo English trump, Jadeite archer thumb rings, a tin incense burner, and many other objects representing the rich material culture of Taiwan.
(2) White City Japan-British Exhibition Donation Another important source of the Taiwanese collections in the British Museum is the 1910 White City Japan-British Exhibition in suburban London. It was the largest overseas exhibition held by the Japanese government not only to promote Japanese technological and cultural advancement but also to display their colonization achievement in Taiwan. Therefore, they provided the “Taiwan Pavilion” to exhibit the industrial and cultural characteristics of Taiwan, and the “Formosa Native Village” where visitors could watch shows graced by the indigenous Taiwanese people. After the exhibition, a collection comprising about 210 objects was donated to the British Museum, which eventually became the core part of the Taiwanese collections in the British Museum.
(3) Collection transferred from Kew Botanical Gardens There is a collection of 30 Taiwanese objects transferred from Kew Botanical Gardens in 1960. These artifacts made of plant fibers were mainly collected by Robert Swinhoe, Thomas Watters, P. E. O’Brien Bulter, H. J. Elwes, W. K. Price, and George Phillips from 1860 to 1910. It belonged to the Kew Botanical Gardens until 1960 when the gardens’ storage space was no longer enough and when non-vegetable specimens were transferred to several ethnological museums including the British Museum.
(4) Donations from Individual Collectors More than 90 artifacts were collected and donated by individuals who had come to and lived in Taiwan for different reasons from 1870 to 1970, such as William Campbell, Elizabeth Keith, G. J. Gomme, D. L. McMullen, Martin Nettleship, and William Buller Fagg.

皇家安大略博物館(Royal Ontario Museum)位於加拿大多倫多市,是加拿大規模最大也最重要的綜合型博物館之一。該館設立於1912年設立,1914年對外開放。經過多次擴建和整合改組,現今該館主要分為「世界文化」與「自然史」二大部門,藏品數量總計超過600萬件。該館的臺灣相關民族學標本文物收藏,總計有500多件,其中1880年代馬偕牧師(Rev. George Leslie Mackay)在台灣採集的文物是最重要的一批藏品,約佔該館臺灣藏品的95%以上。
馬偕牧師是十九世紀後期,長老教會派到台灣北部傳教的第一位宣教師。他從1871年底抵達至1901年去世為止,在台將近三十年的時間,不但是最早在台灣北部地區傳教,也引入西方醫療機構和學校,是台灣歷史上具有很高聲譽和影響力的人。馬偕在佈教旅行途中也經常採集標本,並在淡水設立了臺灣第一間具有西方科學概念的小型博物館。馬偕採集的許多臺灣文物在1890年代被帶回加拿大,後來捐給多倫多市的Bronx College Museum(馬偕曾經就讀的神學院博物館)。1915年Bronx College整建遷移,將所有馬偕藏品捐贈給皇家安大略博物館(ROM)。
目前皇家安大略博物館(ROM)所藏的馬偕臺灣文物,根據本計畫的調查研究和數位化的結果,總計共約524件(311組件);主要保存在四個不同部門:(1)人類學部(共88組件);(2)織品部(共123件);(3)遠東部(共93件);(4)哺乳類動物部(共7件)。這些馬偕藏品的採集時間大約在1870至1880年代之間,包括臺灣北部原住民文物和織品、漢人神像與儀式用品等;其中最特殊的是北部平埔族(噶瑪蘭或凱達格蘭)的全套新娘服飾如玻璃珠飾腰裙、腰帶、上衣和瑪瑙珠串首飾等,以及噶瑪蘭雕花織布工具和香蕉絲織布等。

The Royal Ontario Museum was formally created by the signing of the ROM Act in the Ontario Legislature in 1912, opened to the public in 1914. Numbering almost six million diverse collections of world cultures and natural history make the ROM one of the largest museums in North America. There are more than 500 pieces of Taiwan ethnology collections in ROM, which are mainly collected by Rev. George Leslie Mackay in 1880s.
Rev. George Leslie Mackay was the very first missionary who came to Taiwan and stationed in Tamshui at the northern coast in the late 19th century. He arrived in Taiwan in 1871 and had stayed until his death in 1901. For over 30 years, he had travelled to many places around northern part of Taiwan and collected many material specimens from indigenous villages. Many of his collections were later transferred to Canada and preserved in the Bronx College Museum in 1890s. In 1915, the Mackay collections in the Bronx College Museum were donated to the Royal Ontario Museum.
Nowadays, there are about 524 pieces of Mackay collections preserved in the Royal Ontario Museum, including 88 pieces in Division of Anthropology, 123 pieces in Division of textile, 93 pieces in Division of Far Eastern and 7 pieces in Division of Mammal. Among them, the most special collections are the bridal wedding dresses from northern Pingpu group (or Ketagalan or Kavalan ), such as glass beaded skirts, belts, and jackets, carnelian headdress and necklaces and so on.

密西根大學人類學博物館(UMMA),位於美國密西根州安那堡的密西根大學中央校區內,是具有悠久歷史的知名大學博物館。它的緣起可以追溯至1837年密西根大學遷至安那堡時設立的第一間大學博物館;當時在州政府立法授權該校在校園內設立一間自然史陳列室( “Cabinet of Natural History” ),以研究自然史為目標。後續隨著人類學藏品的快速增長,1922年人類學博物館正式成立為一間獨立的博物館。1928年,博物館遷移至目前博物館的所在位置──魯司凡博物館建築(Ruthven Museum Building);現今該建築內包含五間行政各自獨立的博物館:人類學博物館、地質學博物館、植物學博物館、動物學博物館,以及一間魯司凡展示博物館(Ruthven Exhibit Museum)。
目前密西根大學人類學博物館,是以考古學研究和教學為核心,藏品類型包含考古學和民族學二大類。民族學藏品包含約13,600件來自世界各地不同文化和區域的文物和藝術品,其中臺灣相關藏品約有80件。這些臺灣民族學相關藏品,主要是19世紀中葉Joseph Beal Steere 在五年探險計畫旅行中,1873年至1874年間,至臺灣調查旅行時採集的漢人、邵、巴則海、西拉雅、賽德克等不同文化群的食具、工具、煙斗、服飾和宗教用品等文物,以及相當珍貴的西拉雅新港社番語古文書21件。從博物館紀錄可知,當時Steere從亞洲運回大學自然史博物館的臺灣藏品約有65件。另外,還有15件臺灣文物,是由Harley Harris Bartlett和Fletcher Gardner在1960和70年代捐贈給博物館。

The history of the Museum of Anthropology at University of Michigan can be traced back to 1837-- the relocation of the University of Michigan to Ann Arbor and the creation of its first University Museum. The Anthropology Museum was formally established in 1922, and moved to its home in the Ruthven Building in 1928. With more than 13,600 items, the Ethnology division curates cultural objects from around the world, including basketry, pottery, masks, textiles, weapons, personal adornment, and traditional implements.
There are 80 pieces of Taiwan objects preserved in UMMA, mainly collected by Joseph Beal Steere in his five-year expedition project to South America and Asia. J. B. Steere traveled around the west coast of Taiwan from 1873 to 1874 and collected eating utensils, tools, pipes, clothing, religious supplies and other artifacts from Han Chinese, Shao, Pazeh, Siraya, Sediq and other ethnic groups. The most precious artifacts are the 21 pieces ancient instruments of Siraya Xingang tribe. According to the museum record, we can understand that 65 among the 80 artifacts were shipped back to UMMA from Asia by Steere himself in 1874, and the other 15 artifacts were donated by Harley Harris Bartlett and Fletcher Gardner in 1960s and 1970s.
