We are actively engaged in field research, documentation, and preservation of monuments at sites for publication under current CMHI director Barbara Fash. Our aim is to reach a broader audience, combine 3-D technology with traditional documentation, keep pace with the discovery of new monuments, and continue the folio publication series. To enhance accuracy of drawings, epigraphers assist with the review of new drawings prior to publication.
The most recent CMHI publications : Tonina, Vol 9.2, Cotzumalhuapa, Vol. 10.1, and soon to be released, Yaxchilan, Vol. 3.4, are not yet online.
Image negatives and published drawings have been transferred to the Peabody Museum Archives Department, which are searchable in Online Collections. Ongoing work includes the digitization of the vast historic board collection into the Peabody Museum database.
Graham gave all Maya sites with inscriptions a three-letter code. An updated list can be viewed here.
This Corpus web page provides a digital resource for communities, students and scholars for quick access to the published monuments and site maps.
