Exploring the Archive Historical Photography from Latin America

This volume, entitled Exploring the Archive. Historical Photography from Latin America opens up a further valuable part of the historical archive of photography held by the Ethnologisches Museum to researchers and readers interested in photography or Latin America.
The book presents the results of scientific research into the background and the origin of the images held in the collection, the contexts in which they were produced and the ways in which they have been used; aspects that continue to affect the images until the present day. This approach also promises to inform the reader about the numerous challenges that currently confront people responsible for the care of historical collections of photographs.
