I am pleased today to begin the first of a multi-part series on archives that contain information useful to scholars of colonial Latin America, with a special emphasis on Peru. Would you like to contribute your knowledge, whether as a patron or as an employee, on archives, libraries, databases, etc, for the good of the community? Would you like to provide advice on how to manage a transnational project, how to further your research agenda during the middle of a pandemic, or contemplate balancing the needs of family in one country and doing research in another? As long as your
