In 2023, SPO lecturer, Nadia Cervantes Pérez received a Magic Grant from the Humanities Council for her project, “Translating Mesoamerica: Learning about Indigenous Cultures through Princeton’s Nahuatl Documents from Colonial Mexico & Central America.” The goal of the project is to produce an open-access platform that provides contextual information about the Mesoamerican collection at Princeton University Library. Native speakers, postdoctoral researchers, and students will collaborate to create content for the platform.  In recognition for the amazing work being done on this project, Pérez and her students were recently featured in an article written by Synai Ferrell in The Daily Princetonian for her initiative in "the collaborative effort to make Princeton’s Mesoamerican collection open-access."
