Agreement between the Ibero-American Institute of Berlin and the Ma’u Henua Indigenous Community for the Preservation of Archival Registries of Rapa Nui
The archive belongs to Dr. Walter Lehmann, a German ethnologist, linguist and archaeologist, well known for his work documenting many native cultures and languages of Central America. The Rapanui collection was set up between 1890 and 1920 and contains a variety of visual material: drawings, photographs and clippings on people, tattoos, ruins and petroglyphs, stone sculptures, maps, scenery and objects from the early XXth Century, deposited in museums in Germany, France, England, the United States and Chile. There are also data, manuscripts and correspondence about the scientific publication on these topics in that period.
