A recent acquisition related to Nahuatl language history

"The EMNW is a working group interested in the study of Nahuatl-language documents of the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries with a concentration on deciphering paleography and considering issues of translation. The workshop will commence with Mesoamerican Manuscripts held in the special collections of the Princeton University Library in support of the Translating Mesoamerica project that will provide increased accessibility and analysis of these archival treasures. Other events will include two public lectures." This working group is sponsored by the Princeton University Department of Spanish & Portuguese.

"The idea behind this virtual library is to create an electronic repository of early Nahuatl-language resources (ca.1540-1825), combining those found in Mesoamerica with those the United States and Europe, digitizing them all and making them more accessible and comprehensible to Nahuatl scholars everywhere."

"IDIEZ A.C., es una asociación civil sin fines de lucro, promueve la investigación, la enseñanza y la revitalización de la lengua náhuatl." English translation: "IDIEZ A.C., is a non-profit civil association, promoting research, teaching and revitalization of the Nahuatl language."

"This self-paced course is based on the Nahuatl variant from the Huasteca of Veracruz that is spoken in Chicontepec, Veracruz, Mexico. The principal aim of this course is to develop the student’s oral, written, and comprehension abilities primarily through the study of grammar, listening, and reading. The intended audience for this pedagogical resource is foreign students interested in developing their language skills, as well as native teachers in bilingual schools in the Chicontepec region."
