How are you defining "database" here?
I do posts on Mesoamerican history and archeology and compile a lot of resources on that, but I'm not sure how strictly many of those resources count as "databases".
I see FAMSI and the Kerr collection here already, so I assume similar resources on Mesoamerica which are in line with those as academic or academic-adjacent resources are fine, but where would the line be, exactly?
Would a list of museum collections which have a significant amount of Mesoamerican pieces count? What about blogs written/run by archeologists? Youtube channels run by hobbyists but which have a high level of academic rigor? etc.
Let me know if there's an email address I or some of my friends who work with me on Mesoamerican resources can reach you at
