New updated edition

The editors would like to thank SCAC-Scholarly and Creative Activities Committee and California State University at Long Beach for their generous support of this long-term research project.  And a shout-out to the many colleagues whose thoughtful input represents their dedication to an earth-context for our local stories.

This webpage began as a summer project at Stanford University in 1999, under the guidance of late Prof. John Wirth and Prof. José Augusto Drummond. Although that original version is still online, the field has outgrown the usefulness of that format. New articles, new books, new movies have enriched the discipline, requiring a more user-friendly interface. We hope the new format helps you to build your syllabi, write your research project and advise your students.

We also hope that the new sections (newsletter and work in progress) will encourage you to share your research agenda and make this website a virtual meeting point for anyone interested in Environmental History of Latin America. Send us an email and we will be glad to add your suggestions, comments and proposals to the website.
