Biography / History
"La Herencia", a quarterly publication, was voted the City's Official Publication of the Santa Fe 400th Anniversary in 2006 by the Santa Fe City Council. The publication continues in the tradition of the Spanish press in the Southwest that began in Santa Fe in 1834 and ended in Santa Fe in 1958. "La Herencia" began publication in 1994. La Herencia was founded by Santa Fe native, Ana Pacheco, in response to the rapid decline of the Spanish language and Hispanic culture of New Mexico. It provides information on Hispanic culture with articles written by local historians from New Mexico and the Southwest. The editorial consists of oral history, Spanish language and Southwestern literature, book reviews, poetry, recipes, myths and other forms of Spanish and Mexican folklore retold with documentary photographs and illustrations. Current issues and trends are also covered.
