The Catholic Church and the Preservation of Mesoamerican Archives: An Assessment
Abstract
This article examines the role of the Catholic Church in the destruction and eventual recreation of the manuscripts, oral histories, and other records of the indigenous civilizations of Mesoamerica (the nations of modern Mexico and Central America). It focuses on the time frame immediately after the conquest of Mesoamerica by the Spanish. The article addresses this topic from an archival, rather than historical, point of view.
