Scope and Content
From the Collection:
Following the tradition of the Historical American Building Survey (H.A.B.S.) program and in the footsteps of former UNM Architecture professor Bainbridge Bunting, Chris Wilson has assigned his architecture seminar students the task of documenting historic communities and structures across New Mexico. Martin Stupich's 2011 Historic American Landscape Survey (HALS) class conducted a photographic survey of Albuquerque's Martineztown neighborhood. The resulting collection of student research work provides important information on history, culture and architecture around New Mexico.
The students used a wide variety of sources for their studies, including censuses, maps, business directories, building permits, family histories, and oral interviews. Many include photographs or copies of photos taken on-site or borrowed from residents, diagrams, illustrations, sketches and measured drawings. Most provide a bibliography of sources consulted. The names of the students working on the projects have been provided when known.
Also included in the collection are student papers focusing on adobe wall construction, farms (including the Baca House, the Tipton Barn, the Watrous House and El Rancho de las Golondrinas), stucco use, and northern New Mexico tin roofs. There is also a brief history of nineteenth century American architectural pattern books for mail order houses.
The bulk of the collection is organized by county and includes:
