College Textbooks and Scholarly Titles

Besides working extensively with indexes in Spanish (and being on the cutting edge of high standards in that area), we are also pleased to draw on our expertise in Latin American history and sociology to prepare indexes for a variety of works in the history and social science areas. As well, our experience in higher education gives us a depth of background to work with a variety of college textbooks in both English and Spanish.

Editors of Latin American books like to work with us because of attention to detail and the subject knowledge to know when a term or name is not used correctly. And knowing when accent marks are used comes in very handy as a final quality control check.

Following is a selected list of the scholarly and trade press titles relevant to Latin American themes, followed by a brief list of college textbooks indexed in recent years.
