Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The New Mexico Green Party records consists in large part of correspondence, flyers and brochures, newspaper clippings, newsletters, agendas, budgets, meeting minutes, and audio/video recordings. The collection is divided into 6 series. The largest series, "New Mexico Green Party," contains the bulk of material pertaining to political activism of the Green Party in New Mexico, and here is where the researcher can get a good sense of the strides made by the New Mexico Green Party. The other series also provide insight into the New Mexico Green Party and its connection to national politics, environmental activism, and social and ecological negotiations. The video and audio recordings are an important compliment to all the series, but most specifically to the political campaigns.
This collection was amassed via several Green Party sources: Robert L. Anderson, Ted Cloak, Abraham Gutmann, Alberto Perea.
Series 1: Organizational Documents and Newsletters. This series consists of New Mexico and National Green Party constitutions, platforms, bylaws, resolutions and amendments from 1992-2000. It also contains New Mexico Green Party grievance reports, general documentation on uniform rules and organizing, articles about building a third party, and academic papers about the Green Party. Green Party newsletters will also be found in this series.
Series 2: New Mexico Green Party. This is the largest series in the collection, encompassing party status, campaigns, general operations, and issues of interest. Included are petitions for major party status in New Mexico, and statutes on major party recognition 1994-2001, as well as campaign materials for Abraham Gutman, Roberto Mondragón, Pat Wolf, Jack Urich, Sam Hitt, Carol Miller, and Tom Udall (1992-2000). Materials pertaining to Bob Anderson's race for state representative of district 18 in 1996 and his 1998 district 1 congressional race against republican incumbent Heather Wilson and democrat Phil Maloof are contained in a separate subseries, and include questionnaires, ephemera, endorsement letters, invitations to conferences and speaking events, and documents about his opposition. The series also contains documents from the UNM Green organization and Progressive Coalition.
