Abstract:
The Maya Initiative records date from 1972 to 2016, undated (bulk 1996-2016) and primarily document the Getty Conservation
Institute's collaborations with the Instituto Hondureño de Antropología e Historia (IHAH) of Honduras to develop a conservation
strategy for the Hieroglyphic Stairway at Copán and with the Consejo Nacional para la Cultura y el Arte (CONCULTURA) of El
Salvador to develop a site management plan for Joya de Cerén. The records are a mix of analog and digital files and cover
the initial planning meetings that led to the Maya Initiative, as well as the logistical planning, progress, findings, and
final outputs of the Copán and Joya de Cerén projects. There are also some files pertaining to the El Salvador Earthquake
Relief project, another collaboration with CONCULTURA under the Maya Initiative.
