(limited access)
Editorial Notes:
- The contents of the entire anthology are password protected and intended for the exclusive use of the Participants of the first Early Ibero/Anglo Americanist Summit in Tucson, AZ, May 2002, a gathering of leading scholars from various fields with the purpose of fostering comparative, inter-disciplinary, and cross-cultural research, methodologies, and pedagogy in the study of the early Americas. Summit participants are asked to respect the intellectual property rights of individuals and organizations whose materials are here made available strictly for the purpose of Summit participants' convenience and to refrain from copying or publishing any of the contents as well as from sharing access information with individuals not authorized by the Summit Steering Committee.
- If you are interested in the content of this site but are not a participant of the First Ibero/Anglo Americanist Summit, please consult the alternative
PUBLIC VERSION of the EARLY AMERICAS DIGITAL ARCHIVE constructed by the Maryland Institute of Technology in the Humanities at
http://www.mith2.umd.edu/eada/
- Most of the contents of this anthology are in .html or .txt format and will become visible on your screen by simply clicking on the links with common web-browsers, such as Netscape or Internet Explorer. Others will have to be downloaded as .pdf files. They can be opened with Adobe Acrobat Reader, a free version of which can be downloaded by clicking on this link and by following the instructions.
- In the compilation of this anthology, texts already existing in digital format, on the internet or as kindly provided by Summit partcipants, have been linked to or incorporated within this site whereever possible. Otherwise, texts have been scanned from printed or manuscript sources. A general effort has been made to present texts in their original languages as well as in available translations. As availability is limited, however, translations do not in all cases correspond exactly with the selections in the original language or have had to be omitted entirely until becoming available. Finally, some entries include selections from a given text as well as the entire text; others include either only selections or the entire work. Summit participants will decide each for him/herself how extensively to read. As quantity has had to take priority over quality in the creation of this archive over a relatively short period of time, readers are requested to be patient with scanning errors and other editorial "errata," which will be corrected gradually, it is hoped, as this site evolves.
- This digital archive makes no claim of being comprehensive or representative. The texts included here have been selected on the basis of the recommendations made by the steering committee and the participants of the First Early Ibero/Anglo Americanist Summit as far as availability has permitted.
