Rock Art Archive

The Institute was one of the earliest rock art research institutions worldwide. With its 8,300 copies of rock art from Africa, Oceania, Australia and Europe, the Frobenius Institute holds one of the largest and most extensive documentary collections. The significance of this archive certainly lies with the age of the copies - they were produced between 1912 and the 1960s - and the (regional) comprehensiveness of the materials. In many cases the copies produced by the members of the Institute remain to be the only remaining documentation of certain rock art sites since the original sites have by now been destroyed.

The Ethnographic Pictorial Archive consists of approximately 30,000 historical illustrations produced between the first half of the 19th century and the early second half of the 20th century. Worldwide in scope but with a clear regional focus on Africa, Oceania and indigenous Australia, the archive provides a unique documentation of local material cultures and the arts.
