Christine Hernández (The Latin American Library): How is Pakal’s Sarcophagus like the Codex Tulane
The Latin American Library invites you to a series of gallery talks to close out our yearlong centennial exhibition “A Distinctive Trajectory: Reshaping Histories at the Latin American Library,” celebrating one hundred years of Latin American studies at Tulane University. The exhibit tells this story through many of the library’s rare and unique holdings, some of which have never before been on display. Before the close of the exhibit at the end of May, we have invited Latin Americanist scholars from Tulane to guide us towards a deeper understanding of some of the key pieces in the exhibit in a series of gallery talks followed by a Q&A. The series closes with a special presentation by an international team of Mayanists working on a groundbreaking digital database of Maya hieroglyphics.
