British Library Funding for Nahuatl Archive!

Manuscript detail shot by Reyes García. Digitized by Stephanie Wood, August 2009.

WHP collaborator Lidia E. Gómez García of the Universidad Autónoma de Puebla (Puebla, Mexico) reports excellent news.  The British Library will underwrite the cataloguing of the Luis Reyes García Archive of recorded Nahuatl and Nahuatl-language manuscripts. This is a project of the Endangered Archives Programme, award #EAP383. Maestro Luis Reyes García (1935-2004) was a native speaker and scholar who achieved international fame for his outstanding research accomplishments. Many students of Nahuatl language and Nahua history will benefit from gaining access to the resources he collected. To read more about Luis Reyes, see this memory by Juan Julián Caballero (in Spanish).
