. An album of photographs in the Kansas University Natural History Museum found together with the Patagonian fossils collected by Handel T. Martin in 1904 was assumed in a recent publication to have been assembled by Martin. It comprises 193 numbered pages and 580 photographs of prepared fossil vertebrate specimens, some labeled as from the Museo de La Plata and others, without labels, which were assumed as having been in F. Ameghino’s private fossil collection. However, archival evidence in the Yale Peabody Museum indicates that the album is most likely the original copy of the photographic album assembled by William B. Scott during his visit to Argentina in 1901 to examine fossil specimens from Patagonia in the museums of La Plata and Buenos Aires, and in Ameghino’s collection. It represents an important record of the specimens present at these institutions and in possession of Ameghino near the turn of the last century, a period during which those fossils aroused considerable scientific interest and were in very high demand among researchers and academic institutions, but marked as well by severe conflicts between F. Ameghino and the Director of the Museo de La Plata, F.P. Moreno.  As a consequence the collections were subjected to considerable turmoil and many important specimens can no longer be located. The album provides visual references for these specimens and facilitates systematic and taxonomic research by helping to evaluate which specimens were used to erect numerous taxa and which were analyzed by other researchers who published on such remains. KEY WORDS. Handel T. Martin. William B. Scott. Florentino Ameghino. Fossil mammals. Santa Cruz Formation. Museo de La Plata. Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales. Resumen .  SOBRE UN ALBUM DE FOTOGRAFIAS DE COMIENZOS DEL SIGLO XX DE LAS “VIEJAS COLECCIONES” DEL MUSEO DE LA PLATA Y EN LA COLECCION PRIVADA DE AMEGHINO. En una publicacion reciente se asumio que un album de fotografias encontrado en el Kansas University Natural History Museum junto con fosiles patagonicos recogidos por Handel T. Martin en 1904 habia sido montado por este. El album comprende 193 paginas numeradas y 580 fotografias de especimenes de vertebrados fosiles preparados, algunos etiquetados como del Museo de La Plata y otros, sin etiquetas, que se supuso pertenecian a la coleccion privada de fosiles de F. Ameghino. Sin embargo, evidencia de archivo en el Yale Peabody Museum indica que el album seria copia del album fotografico original reunido por William B. Scott durante su visita a la Argentina en 1901 para examinar especimenes fosiles de Patagonia en los museos de La Plata y Buenos Aires y en la coleccion de Ameghino. El album representa un registro importante de los especimenes presentes en estas instituciones y en posesion de Ameghino cerca del final del siglo pasado, periodo durante el cual estos fosiles despertaron considerable interes cientifico y fueron muy demandados por investigadores e instituciones academicas, pero tambien estuvieron signados por graves conflictos entre F. Ameghino y el Director del Museo de La Plata, F.P. Moreno. Como consecuencia, las colecciones fueron sometidas a un ajetreo considerable y muchos especimenes importantes ya no pueden localizarse. El album proporciona referencias visuales para estos especimenes y facilita la investigacion sistematica y taxonomica ayudando a evaluar que especimenes se utilizaron para erigir numerosos taxones y cuales fueron analizados por otros investigadores que publicaron sobre ellos. PALABRAS CLAVE. Handel T. Martin. William B. Scott. Florentino Ameghino. Mamiferos fosiles. Formacion Santa Cruz. Museo de La Plata. Museo Argentino de Ciencias Naturales.
