Abstract

The Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology of the University of São Paulo has received a big collection of ethnological films which needs to be cleaned and digitalized in order to become accessible to research. They were made during the 1940's, 1950's and 1960's among indigenous populations mainly from Latin America. (AU)
