Scope and Content

From the Collection: This collection consists of the personal papers of Jerilou and Kingsley Hammett. Ms. Hammett’s involvement in the Santa Fe community is chronicled through her personal scrapbook, "Santa Fe: The Years of Radical Citizenship, 1978-2007." Along with newspaper clippings that detail the participation of both Hammetts in local politics and civic matters, the scrapbook contains many speeches the Hammetts wrote for Debbie Jaramillo.

Kingsley Hammett’s materials include manuscripts, research, and notes for several of his woodworking books. In addition, the many publications of Fine Additions, Inc., the Hammetts’ publishing company, are housed in this collection.

The collection highlights several of the Hammetts' political interests. It contains published newspaper and special reports on the New Mexico State Penitentiary riots. It also features information on the Guaranteed Job Opportunity Act, a United States bill introduced by Senator Paul Simon. In addition, the collection contains Jerilou Hammett's work on the Living Wage Ordinance and includes a copy of the original ordinance.
