This is a catalog of the ethnographic collection of the Batavian Society of Arts and Sciences, a Dutch learned society founded in 1778 in the former Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia). The collection, which comprised mainly objects and artifacts from various ethnic groups of Indonesia and other parts of Southeast Asia, was one of the first and most important ethnographic collections in the world. The catalog provides a detailed description of each item in the collection and is a valuable source for the study of Indonesian and Southeast Asian culture and history.
