Celebrating the global launch of the Digital Florentine Codex (DFC), this virtual conference will gather experts involved in the creation of a digital edition of the 16th-century encyclopedic manuscript of Nahuatl culture and language. The DFC features a newly digitized, downloadable manuscript; transcriptions and translations of the original Nahuatl and Spanish texts; and searchable images that will stimulate new lines of scholarship on Mexica culture and transform global understandings of the conquest of Mexico. It will be a resource in the growing field of digital humanities projects that center Indigenous voices. Members of the project team will shed light on the creation of the DFC, while invited speakers will discuss digital projects that provide public and community access to manuscripts and documents in a range of Indigenous languages of Mexico.

This event will also be live-streamed on the Instituto Nacional de Antropología e Historia’s (INAH) YouTube channel.
The conversation will be available on the Getty Research Institute YouTube channel following the event.
