Sommario/riassunto

This book is a compilation of previously unpublished documents focusing on the linguistic studies of indigenous languages in Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego between 1880 and 1950. It explores the archival sources, the actors involved, and the technologies used for producing and compiling linguistic data. The work is a scholarly endeavor supported by the Universidad Nacional de Río Negro, presenting a collection of vocabularies, dictionaries, and linguistic comparisons involving indigenous languages such as Ona, Tehuelche, and Araucano. The book aims to document and communicate scientific findings related to these languages, making it a valuable resource for linguists, historians, and researchers interested in the linguistic heritage of the region.
