In celebration of the 125th anniversary of the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv at the Ethnologisches Museum and to mark the conclusion of the research project on the digitisation and publication of sound recordings from the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv, the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut is organising the conference “Sharing Sound Archives: Latin American Wax Cylinder Recordings of the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv in the Digital Collections of the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut” in cooperation with the Ethnologisches Museum of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin.
The event is centred around developing strategies for making historical recordings more accessible and aims to encourage and foster their circulation and re-appropriation by local communities in the respective regions of origin. Special emphasis will be placed on the importance of developing collaborative approaches to cataloguing the collections in question, which are dispersed across a number of institutions.
The event Sharing Sound Archives: Latin American Wax Cylinder Recordings of the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv in the Digital Collections of the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut will take place at 6 pm on 7 October 2025 at the Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut.
