Guide to Ethnohistorical Sources comprises Volumes 12 through 15 of
the Handbook of Middle American Indians, published in cooperation
with the Middle American Research Institute of Tulane University
under the general editorship of Robert Wauchope (1909-1979). The
Guide has been assembled under the volume editorship of the late
Howard F. Cline, Director of the Hispanic Foundation in the Library
of Congress, with Charles Gibson, John B. Glass, and H. B.
Nicholson as associate volume editors. It covers geography and
ethnogeography, especially the Relaciones Geograficas (Volume 12);
sources in the European tradition: printed collections, secular and
religious chroniclers, biobibliographies (Volume 13); sources in
the native tradition: prose and pictorial materials, checklist of
repositories, title and synonymy index, and annotated bibliography
on native sources (Volumes 14 and 15). Volume 12, which is Part One
of the Guide, contains the following: "Introduction: Reflections on
Ethnohistory," "Introductory Notes on Territorial Divisions of
Middle America," "Viceroyalty to Republics, 1786-1952: Historical
Notes on the Evolution of Middle American Political Units,"
"Ethnohistorical Regions of Middle America," "The Relaciones
Geograficas of the Spanish Indies, 1577-1648," "A Census of the
Relaciones Geograficas of New Spain, 1579-1616," and "The

An Annotated Bibliography," all the foregoing by Howard F. Cline.
In addition it includes: "Colonial New Spain, 1519-1786: Historical
Notes on the Evolution of Minor Political Jurisdictions" by Peter
Gerhard; "The Pinturas (Maps) of the Relaciones Geograficas, with a

1579-1586: Native Languages" by H. R. Harvey; and "The Relaciones
