Creator:
Lange, Algot, 1884-
Extent: 0.2 linear feet
Algot Lange (1884- ) was a Swedish/Danish adventurer and amateur anthropologist who visited the Amazon River basin in 1910
and 1913. During the 1910 expedition Lange documented the rubber trade and the native peoples of eastern Peru. During the
1913 expedition he undertook the initial preparation for the University of Pennsylvania’s South American (Amazon) expedition.
Lange was replaced as leader of this expedition by William C. Farabee, who continued the project from 1913 to 1916. The Algot
Lange records consist of one series of three notebooks concerning the Tupi (Nheengatu) language and culture of the Amazon
basin compiled by Lange while at the University of Pennsylvania sometime between 1912 and 1914.
