The University of Aberdeen Latin American collections are the largest of any Scottish university and third largest in all Scotland (Kwasnik 1994), yet relatively understudied, making them an overlooked resource for understanding Scottish and Latin American encounters and ways to make evident and then decolonise obscure imperial networks. Focusing on the reasons and ways archaeological, ethnographic, and herbarium objects were acquired, this research examines lost histories of transatlantic interactions and power relationships through the lives of Scottish donors and collectors, Latin American guides and makers, and the objects that bind them in long-standing connections that continue to this day.

阿伯丁大学拉丁美洲馆藏是苏格兰大学中最大的，也是整个苏格兰第三大的（Kwasnik 1994），但研究相对较少，这使得它们成为了解苏格兰和拉丁美洲遭遇以及阐明模糊帝国网络并使其去殖民化的方法的一个被忽视的资源。这项研究着眼于考古、人种学和植物标本馆物品的获取原因和方式，通过苏格兰捐赠者和收藏家、拉丁美洲导游和制造者的生活，以及将他们联系在一起并延续至今的长期联系的物品，审视了跨大西洋互动和权力关系的失落历史。
