The 2025 Meetings: This year’s meeting represents a unique opportunity to showcase new research and reflect on approaches to the archive at the JCB Library, a leading institution dedicated to the early Americas. The first day of the meetings on Thursday, November 13 will be dedicated to a workshop of new research and the second day on Friday, November 14 will focus on plenary discussions about critical approaches to the field. The workshop will serve as welcoming and supportive venues to exchange ideas and to encourage collegiality among colonial Latin Americanists of varied backgrounds and diverse research interests. Thursday’s meetings are limited by space, but Friday’s session is open to the public. The agenda of the meetings is available here.
