The Archives de la Planète are supplemented with photographic and cinematographic work made prior to 1912, from journeys undertaken by Albert Kahn, accompanied by a camera operator, including a trip around the world (1908-1909), to South America (1909) as well as the one to Scandinavia (1910).

Throughout the museum’s history, acquisitions from private donors have enriched this collection. From various sources, specifically from camera operators or grant recipients, these collections, in a variety of formats, provide counterpoints to The Archives de la Planète.
