The widow of a collector of paleontological material, the Brazil‑based German Ragnhild Borgomanero, 77, devotes her time to preserving her husband’s memory and estate, the largest private fossil collection in Latin America. Self‑taught, she learned how to use the technological tools she would need to fulfill her mission, around which she has constructed a powerful discourse. Paradigmatic of the notion of private archaeology, the work explores the relationship between personal memory and collective history.
