Wired Humanities

Wired Humanities Projects is a pioneering initiative dedicated to the exploration and preservation of Indigenous languages and cultures, particularly focusing on Nahuatl and Aztec heritage. Our mission is to provide valuable resources that enrich the understanding of these rich traditions through innovative digital tools and projects.

Among our current offerings, the Online Nahuatl Dictionary serves as a comprehensive linguistic resource, encompassing influential texts such as Molina and Karttunen, along with attestations from historical manuscripts. The Visual Lexicon of Aztec Hieroglyphs features stunning imagery sourced from the Codex Mendoza and other central Mexican codices, helping users appreciate the intricacies of this ancient writing system.

Additionally, the Visual Recognition Tool allows users to compare uploaded images against our extensive database, facilitating a deeper engagement with visual history. Our Mapas Project highlights Indigenous-authored pictorial manuscripts from New Spain, while the Early Nahuatl Library provides transcriptions and translations of full-text alphabetic manuscripts, making these vital cultural documents accessible to a wider audience.
