Scope and Content

From the Collection: The Bandelier collection consists of artifacts, documents, illustrations, maps, and photographs. For the most part all are in stable condition.

Other Bandelier memorabilia and artifacts were donated by various persons who were friends of the Bandeliers.

Journals Of the document portion of the collection, Bandelier's journals stand out. The originals made by Bandelier cover the years 1880 to 1911. Of these journals, the collection has Fanny Bandelier's hand transcriptions of those journals relating to New Mexico and the Southwest (1880 to 1892). These transcriptions have been typed. Some have additionally been edited prepatory to their publication.

Correspondence 1878-1946 Bandelier's correspondence and that of his wife constitute another important portion of the collection. Correspondence about the Bandeliers and the Bandelier Journals are decidedly larger in volume than the Bandelier letters.
