E whakaatu ana tēnei kiriata o te tau 1947 i ngā kohinga taonga a William Oldman o Clapham ki Rānana. He maha ngā taonga o Te Moananui-a-Kiwa me te Māori i kohia e Oldman i ōna mahi hei kaihoko taonga momo tangata. I roto i te kiriata e whakaatu ana a Oldman i āna taonga ki a Roger Duff o Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha. I te tau 1948 ka whakarite a Duff i te hoko a te kāwanatanga i ngā taonga i puritia e Oldman. Kātahi ka tohaina ēnei taonga ki ngā whare taonga o Aotearoa ki Tāmaki-makau, ki Waitaha me Ōtākou.
