The objective of this Foundation is to gather, study and disseminate the work of José Miguel de Barandiarán (1889-1991), the anthropologist, and continue with his research work. For this purpose, the José Miguel de Barandiarán Foundation edits books, awards research scholarships, promotes courses and seminars, and supports the work of the groups that have inherited the important «Atlas Etnográfico de Euskal Herria» (Ethnographic Atlas of the Basque Country) project.
