Abstract
The starting-point of this article is the cinematographic and photographic production made by Hermic Films in Equatorial Guinea (1944–46). Thirty-one short documentaries and 5,500 photos were the product of a two-year expedition in the Spanish colony, partially funded by the Francoist Government. Even if these films and photos are among the most important visual documents of Spain's only sub-Saharan colony, they remain largely unknown. In this research note, considering Hermic Films’ corpus as an archive open to new paths for investigation, we provide a methodological proposal by tracking the social biography of images and placing them in their production and consumption context.
