Juan Galindo and the Société de Géographie
The scholarly network of the 1830s
About this volume
Volume IV focuses on Juan Galindo’s report and the correspondence assembled by the Société de Géographie in Paris. It shows how learned societies created an institutional framework for evaluating expeditions, exchanging evidence and encouraging further exploration.
Letters by Galindo, Corroy, Warden, Franck and Cochelet are considered alongside prize competitions and the work of travelling artists. Together they reveal the mechanisms through which Palenque entered nineteenth-century European scholarship.
