Scope and Content
From the Collection:
Collection contains Edgar L. Hewett's personal and business papers and covers the years 1905 to 1947. The folders are mostly in chronological order until Hewett's death in 1946, although the letters are not strictly in order by date. Folders in the later boxes are in alphabetical order by subject matter, and sometimes these are in reverse chronological order. Undated and incomplete letters for any particular period are normally at the end of a folder.
Correspondence is arranged chronologically and topically, and includes correspondence with Carlos Vierra, Alice C Fletcher, Walter Ufer, Julius Rolshoven, Frank Springer, and Charles Lummis and many others.
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.
