New Collection: The Niels Fock & Eva Krener Photographic Collection of a Cañari Village

AILLA would like to announce the Niels Fock & Eva Krener Photographic Collection of a Cañari Village, Juncal, Cañar, Ecuador that features more than 800 photographs taken between 1973 and 1978 by Danish anthropologist Niels Fock and Eva Krener. The photographs document life in Juncal, a Kichwa-speaking Cañari town in southern Ecuador. Also included are six works (in English, Spanish and Danish) published by Fock and Krener about the town and its people.

This is the second in a series of new AILLA collections focusing on the Cañari people of Ecuador. Other AILLA collections with public materials on the Cañari people and their Kichwa languages include the Quechua Languages Collection of Rosaleen Howard of Newcastle University and the Cañar Peace Corp Collection.

A finding aid listing all files in the collection with English descriptions is available.
