Traces of Samoan Colonial Past in the Collections of the German Maritime Museum

In the summer semester of 2024, NZ/Samoan historian Anthony Brunt will be a guest at the University of Bremen for two months as an INPUTS writer-in-residence (13 May – 7 July 2024). Tony Brunt is a histo- rian and photo historian specialising in colonial era photography from the South Pacific, especially from the former German colony of Samoa. For many years he has researched and archived images from private collections and moved them into public access and visibility. Tony Brunt has been a consultant and volunteer photo archivist to the Museum of Samoa since 2012 and created the museum’s online photo exhibition on the German colonial period “To Walk Under Palm Trees”, which ran from 2013 - 2019 and featured over 400 images from private collecti- ons. He has spearheaded the museum’s public outreach through social media in relation to historical photography. He has written two illustra- ted books on early Samoa, including a 2020 study of the recently disco- vered Karl Hanssen Album of historical photography.
