Historian of Mesoamerica Stephanie Wood will discuss the Nahuatl hieroglyphic writing system and discoveries she made through Library collections while in residence as Jay I. Kislak Chair. She will also highlight an exciting project to collect these 16th-century Mexican hieroglyphs in a free, online, annotated database that serves as a reference work for teachers, a cultural preservation resource, and a decipherment aid.
