Bibliografia Mesoamericana

The geographical scope of Bibliografia Mesoamericana includes conventional coverage of Mesoamerica as a culture area. Specifically it includes most of Mexico, all of Belize and Guatemala, the western parts of El Salvador and Honduras, and the Pacific coastal regions of Nicaragua and Costa Rica to the Nicoya peninsula.

Format includes books, monographs, edited volumes, festschriften, periodical articles, essays in collected works, dissertations and theses, obituaries, CD-ROM products, audio and video tapes, and films. Excluded formats are book reviews, topographic and other sheet maps, working papers and other "gray" literature, juvenile literature, newspapers, and unpublished material. As the project develops it is expected that manuscripts, especially in Mesoamerican indigenous languages, will be included.

Temporal coverage extends from the early sixteenth-century to the present.

There are no restrictions on language although the literature of Mesoamerican scholarhship has traditionally emphasized Western European languages, especially Spanish, English, German, and French.
