Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The Lee C. Myers collections spans the years 1907-1995, with the bulk of the materials falling between 1956-1993. The collection includes photocopies of historical documents, copies of Myers's articles, notes, correspondence, and photographs.
The materials have been divided into six series: Correspondence, Manuscripts, Organizations, Research Files, Photographs, and Tapes.
The Correspondence series includes communications between editors, fellow writers and researchers. This series spans the years 1956-1993, although the years 1968-1978 are not represented in the Correspondence. Correspondents include Pete Domenici, Myra Ellen Jenkins, Leon Metz, Robert Mullin, and Marc Simmons.
The Manuscript series includes drafts in various stages, as well as publications of Myers's writings. Included at the beginning of this series is a complete bibliography of Myers's works. Myers assembled three books of notes taken from the Eddy Argus while compiling "The Pearl of the Pecos." These notebooks are included in the Manuscript portion of the collection.
The Research Files series consists of notes, photocopies of documents, publications and correspondence. There are extensive files on Myers's research of Seven Rivers, New Mexico, and individual families from that area. Also among the Research Files are notes on paper towels written by Myers while working for the mines. Apparently, during his breaks Myers would interview the old-timers of the mines to compile an early history of the area.
The Photographs series contains original photographs, negatives and copy prints. Included are images of forts, ghost towns, ruins, and excavations, as well as reenactments and dedications. Also included are copies of photographs from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
The final series, Tapes, is comprised of oral histories and speeches. This series is restricted pending preservation.
