A new door has been opened by Douglas Cole on the scramble. The rivalry of the "collectors." As I visit the museums of the world this book will haunt my steps. - Ron MacIsaac (What's Happening?) Captured Heritage is a major contribution to museum history and to an understanding of the nature of collecting on the Northwest Coast prior to 1930. As museums work out new management and ownership relationships with First nations, reference to the complex historical relationships outlined by Cole will arise over and over again. - Ann Stevenson (The Midden)
