The Latin American Travelogues digital collection draws on the expertise of Prof. James N. Green, Associate Professor of Latin American history and Director of the Center for Latin American Studies; Patricia Figueroa, Curator of Iberian and Latin American Collections; students; and the staff of the Center for Digital Initiatives.
The goal of this project is to create a digital collection of Latin American travel accounts written in the 16th-19th centuries. The works selected are linked to critical essays produced by undergraduate students who are enrolled in Prof. Green's courses on Latin American history. This site will serve as a free-access visual and research tool for students and scholars alike.
