Description and organization of the collection Reference code NO KTM 1998-001 1.1 The Bengt Danielsson Library and Archives Bengt Emmerik Danielsson (06.07. 1921 – 04.07. 1997), was a Swedish born anthropologist, writer, political activist, and adventurer. He spent most of his life in Papehue, on Tahiti in French Polynesia. His lengthy political resistance against French nuclear testing on the Moruroa atoll in the Tuamotu Islands would in the end overshadow his fame as a member of Thor Heyerdahl’s Kon-Tiki Expedition in 1947. Upon his death, the remainder of his book collection, archives, and photo archive were transferred from Tahiti to The Kon-Tiki Museum in Oslo, Norway. Danielsson’s book collection was given as a testamentary gift to the Kon-Tiki Museum in 1979, but only transferred to the museum
