EASTER ISLAND

FOUNDATION
The Easter Island Foundation came into existence in 1989. One of the goals of this nonprofit organization is to establish a library on Easter Island, named for and dedicated to the late anthropologist, William Mulloy, who devoted much of his life to the island and the islanders. The Foundation has the active support of the Sociedad de Amigos de Isla de Pascua and the Dirección de Bibliotecas, Archivos Museos.

The nucleus of the library collection is Mulloy's own private library and field notes, slides and photographs. Other private collections have been donated to the Mulloy Library. In addition to audio and visual material, the Library will house new books and journals for use by future investigators. As of 1993, a temporary Library ( with a Rapanui librarian ) is functioning in Viña del Mar, Chile.

In addition to the Library itself, the Foundation also donates books for Rapanui students studying in continental Chile and will, in the future, provide scholarships for qualified Rapanui students to continue their education.

The Foundation's goal is to establish an endowment to ensure the continuous operation of the Library. Contributions from concerned individuals will allow the Foundation to reach it's goals, stimulate future investigations, and attract scholars from all over the world. We are actively seeking corporate memberships, gifts of library equipment, and sponsorship for other Foundation projects. All gifts are tax deductible.
