Archivo de la Conquista: Two Traditions, One Timeline

Field notes

The archive places Cortés's five relations and sixteen Mexica codices on a shared chronology running from 1519 to 1608, with filters for subjects such as ritual, genealogy, tribute, conquest, and encyclopedic material. It also expands the central corpus with fifteen documents by captains, soldiers, friars, Indigenous allies, and other subjects. The page notes that several codex dates are approximate and debated, and explains that no original Cortés autograph survives.
