Overview
This series of registered correspondence consists of most of the correspondence received by the Colonial Museum from 1884 and covers a wide range of subjects including Museum matters, Geological Survey, the Observatory, New Zealand Institute, scientific research and others.
The variety of subjects covered in this correspondence tends to reduce in the later part of this period as Hector's range of authority is reduced.
