The panel’s objective is to reflect on the use of archival sources in anthropological research and its relationship with ethnographic production, as well as on the constitution and organization of archives of anthropologists or related to anthropology. Archival sources pose challenges of various types: how do we locate, receive, organize, and make them open to public consultation? What specific characteristics do they have? What contribution can they make to the history of the discipline, either as material to be used in teaching or as an input for research or technical or artistic productions of different types? What is the experience of anthropologists who do research in these archives? We seek to exchange experiences and encourage reflection on the topic.
