Abstract
Two scientific film expeditions led by Adolf Freiherr von Dungern in the Brazilian Amazon (1924-1925 and 1929) were undertaken with the aim of making wildlife films and collecting natural history specimens. This Wikidata dataset provides information on these expeditions, their participants, the films produced, the specimens collected, and the publications about them. The compilation of data is supported by historical research on archival documents, scattered in different archives and collections, aiming to bring together different sources by connecting relevant entities and visualising the information. The dataset is archived in Zenodo and interlinked data is made available via Wikidata. This project offers a unique perspective on the entangled relationship between film historical studies, zoological research and collections from colonial contexts, facilitating further interdisciplinary research. Keywords: Adolf Freiherr von Dungern, film heritage, animal hunt, German film expeditions, natural history specimens, (film) archives
