The British and the Maya

This exhibition is intended to draw attention to the invaluable contributions made by British travelers and scholars in this field, and to show that this interest is not dead but one actively pursued at the present time. There has never been encouragement for people living in the British Isles to take up Maya studies. The high quality of the work produced by those few who were enterprising enough to continue in spite of the difficulties is partly at least a product of the adversity.
