The Vistas project seeks to bring an understanding of the visual culture of Spanish America to a broad audience. Spanish America was an extensive region—covering much of the Americas, running from California to Chile from the 16th century to the early 19th century. Its visual culture was forged in urban centers, religious and frontier communities, and indigenous towns. The Vistas website offers easy access in English and Spanish to key components of this project. The website provides a gallery of more than 100 color images, interpretive essays, and a searchable bibliography on visual culture.

Vistas also has an interactive DVD component, which offers a greater range and depth of material, including interpretive Quicktime videos and a larger gallery of images that can be examined in high-resolution detail. The DVD portion of Vistas will be completed in the spring of 2006. For further information, please contact us.
