Scope and Content

From the Collection: This collection focuses on historic buildings and architecture in New Mexico. There is a significant component of the collection that relates to the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) and nominations of buildings to the National Register of Historic Places. Student research and research papers, class notes and lectures, and Bunting's articles and publications are significant components of the collection. Photographs associated with reports remain in the collection, while loose photographs have been transferred to CSWR Pictorial Collections.

The collection is divided into six overlapping series:

Series I, comprising the bulk of the collection, includes research materials pertaining to historic buildings, architecture, and city planning in New Mexico. This series begins with Albuquerque, including the Downtown, North Valley and Old Town neighborhoods, and the University of New Mexico. Following Albuquerque, the series is arranged alphabetically, with locations and subjects interfiled. Subjects included in this series are diverse, including churches, forts, gravestones, homes, John Gaw Meem, murals, penitentes, woodworking, etc.

Series II, New Mexico Miscellaney and Non New Mexico, contains general New Mexico subjects and materials relating specifically to locales outside New Mexico (Guanajuato, Mexico; Trinidad, Colorado, El Paso, Texas; Tumacacori, Arizona). Subjects in this series include archaeology, Indian architecture, biographical information about Bunting, the Cultural Properties Review Commission (CPRC), criteria for registration of historic structures and districts, HABS correspondence, radiocarbon dating, tree ring dating, etc.

Series III focuses on New Mexico Indian Pueblos. Materials are arranged alphabetically from Acoma to Zuni. Formats include pamphlets, blueprints, reports, and notes

Series IV contains Bunting's manuscripts and research for publications, including articles and books, notably Taos Adobes, as well as book reviews and related correspondence.

Series V highlights student research and class/lecture notes, although much of Series I through III also contain student research.
