Nancy -- there's /masses/ of information out there, but it's sometimes
buried in broader discussions (of indigo, and of Latin American trade),
and a lot of it is not in English.  What has your student found already?
I assume this is an undergrad so despite being from Bryn Mawr there are
limits to how much primary source material you can expect her to go
through?  How large/long a paper or project is she doing?
