Inspired by the title of the work of Diego Dávalos Figueroa, Nueva Miscelánea Austral is a selection of colonial texts (either by its origin or subject) prepared by the Proyecto de estudios indianos (PEI).

Those of colonial material are no exception, so the PEI offers to users a digital shelf in which digitized books are shown with a proper description for their convenience.
