During the 19th century, scientific expeditions funded by European institutions and governments contributed to the expansion of knowledge, transforming and improving the understanding of the world. An example of this would be the contributions of Alexander Von Humboldt in America. These expeditions explored geographical diversity and collected data on natural resources. But beyond the technical aspect, documents were produced that recorded geographical and natural resources as well as ethnic and cultural diversity. In the specific case of the Isthmus of Panama, they focused on the possibility of building an interoceanic canal.
