Guide to Documentary Sources for Andean Studies, 1530–1900 | National Gallery of Art

https://www.nga.gov/research/publications/guide-documentary-sources-andean-studies-1530-1900

Prior to the arrival of Europeans in the first half of the 16th century, Andean peoples had no tradition of writing. For this reason, texts written by early modern European chroniclers and later Andean authors are a critical source of information on the Andes. This landmark three-volume reference work inventories the principal sources useful for the study of the region—particularly its Prehispanic and vice-regal cultures—covering relevant texts from the 16th through the 19th century.
