Mesilla Valley Oral History Club records
Collection
Identifier: Ms-0570
Content Description
Records of the Mesilla Valley Oral History Club, an organization established May 1995 and disbanded June 2013. The club sponsored monthly meetings in which local residents presented on topics related to Mesilla Valley and southern New Mexico history. Many of these took the form of personal recollections of life in Las Cruces. The club did not conduct oral history interviews, but rather provided a venue for people to talk about their memories and their knowledge of regional history. Attendance at the meetings could run as high as 150-200. The collection contains audiocassette tapes and videocassette tapes of the meetings and presentations, transcripts of the presentations, an inventory of the presentations, correspondence, financial records, CDs and DVDs, and 35mm color slides,
