Known for its vast garden with landscape scenes, the departmental museum Albert-Kahn, located in Boulogne-Billancourt (Hauts-de-Seine), hosts the 'Archives of the Planet', a collection consisting of approximately 72,000 autochromes (the first color photography process) and hundreds of hours of films brought back from fifty countries by a dozen operators between 1910 and 1932. This conference will present this unique set worldwide, the new museum that houses it, and the two major figures behind it: philanthropist banker Albert Kahn (1860-1940) and geographer Jean Brunhes (1869-1930), the project's scientific director. It will also explore the role of color in this vast inventory of the world at the beginning of the 20th century.
