Summary:

This book analyzes the process of building specialized knowledge about the past and its objects carried out by intellectual collectors in the Andean region, between 1892 and 1915. During these years, antiquities, in particular indigenous ones, were vestiges valued in multiple dimensions: from the diplomatic transaction, the Hispanic creed, the discourse of transatlantic archaeology, intellectual sociability and the national museum. This research addresses the different local experiences and their global connections that begin in 1892 with the commemoration of the "discovery" of America and extend into the first decades of the twentieth century, with the foundation of academies, societies and institutes of history. The critical study of these musealization processes and their public projections, in cross perspective, allow us to understand the complex scenario in which national representations are erected and the different senses attributed to the objects that were exhibited, gifted, negotiated or collected.
