ABSTRACTThis article proposes an analytical reading of the ways in which an Ecuadorian museology was conceived at the beginning of the twentieth century. The Ecuadorian state, unlike other countries in the region, showed little interest in promoting and sponsoring the establishment of academies or institutes for the research of history in specialised circuits that were linked with ideas of the public museum. The construction of a national museum of archaeology was a process that began in the nineteenth century and involved a specialised scientific sociability that sustained this process as history, anthropology and archaeology were in development as sciences in those years. People such as Federico Gonzalez Suarez and a Catholic conservative elite participated in this process during the first decades of the twentieth century.

博物馆、考古学和国家：冈萨雷斯·苏亚雷斯 (González Suárez) 和 20 世纪早期厄瓜多尔的美国历史研究协会 (Sociedad de Estudios Histórico-Americanos)

摘要本文对厄瓜多尔博物馆学在 20 世纪初的构想方式进行了分析性解读。与该地区的其他国家不同，厄瓜多尔政府对促进和赞助建立专门研究历史的学院或研究所几乎没有兴趣，这些学院或研究所与公共博物馆的想法有关。国家考古博物馆的建设是一个始于 19 世纪的过程，涉及到专门的科学社会性，随着历史、人类学和考古学在那些年作为科学而发展起来，这个过程得以维持。费德里科·冈萨雷斯·苏亚雷斯 (Federico Gonzalez Suarez) 和天主教保守派精英等人在 20 世纪的头几十年参与了这一过程。
