==The Ucko Collection==
The Ucko Collection consists of archaeological objects originally collected by Peter Ucko. On his death, ownership passed to his partner Jane Hubert, who later approached members of the Institute of Archaeology's staff with a desire to donate the collection to a public institution, an act which inspired the "Transitional Objects" project (UCL, 2014–2016).<ref>Vida, C. & Sully, D., (2015).
