The Council have deposited the collection in the Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Cambridge for exhibition, where it is available for purposes of study.

Several of the objects exhibited at the evening meetings during the year have been presented by the exhibitors to the Society, and placed in the Society's case in the same Museum.

By the courtesy of the Council of the Anthropological Institute the books forming the Society's library have been removed from the Secretary's rooms in Lincoln's Inn and placed in the shelves of the Institute at 3, Hanover Square.
