Abstract: 35 mm slides, primarily color with some black-and-white, assembled for the study and teaching of the history of Pre-Columbian (Native American) and early Latin American Colonial art, architecture and archaeology. Geographic coverage is of Central and South America. Objects and sites represented date from approximately 2400 BCE to 1600 CE. The Pre-Columbian collection documents material culture and ancient sites, including architecture, archaeology, manuscripts, sculpture, paintings, drawings, metalwork, textiles, pottery, and ceramics. Ceremonial and utilitarian objects in a wide variety of media are included. Materials from many culture groups are represented (see Box descriptions), with substantial documentation of the Aztec, Maya, and Inca civilizations. Additional material from the early Latin American Colonial period is included. Slides were purchased from vendors, donated by faculty, or copy-photographed from Harvard Library materials.
