Also included are records of the Museum of New Mexico, the School of American Research, and other institutions (such as San Diego Museum, Panama-California Exposition, Santa Fe Fiesta, New Mexico Normal University [New Mexico Highlands University] and various excavations) as well as Edgar L. Hewett's manuscripts, some memorabilia, and newspaper clippings.
