Ibero-American Institute
The Ibero-American Institute or IAI ((ドイツ語:Ibero-Amerikanisches Institut), (スペイン語:Instituto Ibero-Americano Patrimonio Cultural Prusiano)) is an interdisciplinary institution located in Berlin, Germany for academic and cultural exchange between Germany and Latin America, Spain, Portugal and the Caribbean. It is the largest non-university research center for Latin American Studies outside of Latin America. It also features the largest specialized library in Europe on Latin America, Spain, Portugal and the Caribbean. In addition to a large rare book collection, the IAI collects and preserves magazines, electronic documents, maps, audio media, photographs, videos, DVDs, papers and diverse additional materials.〔(about the IAI|retrieved 1/29/2012 )〕 The IAI is a member of the Research Association CEISAL ((スペイン語:Consejo Europeo de Investigaciones Sociales de América Latina)) and the documentation network association REDIAL. Founded in 1930, since 1962 the IAI has been an agency of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. It is located at the Kulturforum near Potsdamer Platz in Berlin-Mitte.
==History==
The Institute was founded in 1930 and on a core of three large book collections. In the late 1920s, the Argentine scholar Ernesto Quesada had given his approximately 82,000-volume private library to the State of Prussia. In addition, it received the Mexico library of geographer Hermann Hagen, who had collected 25,000 volumes with the support of Mexican President Plutarco Elías Calles. When Institute for Latin America Studies in Hamburg closed in 1930, its inventory of approximately 10,000 volumes was then transferred the IAI. Thus by the time of its founding, the IAI was already in possession of about 120,000 volumes, a specialized and comprehensive collection that included many rare and valuable books.
Apart from the library, an essential element of IAI was the research department. Both were initially housed in the Prussian Royal Stables building ((ドイツ語:Neue Marstall)), a grand edifice in central Berlin-Mitte. Under the direction of Wilhelm Faupel, the Nazi envoy to rebel General Francisco Franco, the Institute became integrally involved in diplomatic relations between the Third Reich, Spain and Argentina. During World War II it was moved to Berlin-Lankwitz and the books sent into storage to protect them from Allied bombing. An estimated at 40,000 volumes were lost during the war.〔Reinhard Liehr/Günther Maihold/Günther Vollmer (eds.): ''Ein Institut und sein General: Wilhelm Faupel und das Iberoamerikanische Institut in der Zeit des Nationalsozialismus'' (Frankfurt, 2003)〕
After the war, as a result of its Nazi activities, the institute was nearly dissolved. On 1 April 1946, the West Berlin City Government took over the financing of the IAI and thus saved it. In that same year the Institute was named the "Latin American Library", and in 1954 it was renamed the "Ibero-American library". In 1957 the library came under the auspices of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. In 1962 the institution was again named the "Ibero-American Institute." In the following years one of its main tasks was to close the gaps in the collection lost during the War. Here the IAI received great support by foreign institutions, libraries and other facilities. In 1977, the IAI moved into a new building on the Kulturforum at Potsdamer Straße 37.
