Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection contains 42 New Mexico and regional duplicate drawings from the HABS collection at the Library of Congress. The original measured drawings date from 1934-1973. The idea for creating a HABS collection at UNM first began in the early 1980s, in anticipation of the 50th anniversary of the HABS project, 1983. A grant from the American Institute of Architects, Albuquerque Chapter, helped provide funding for purchasing the materials. The drawings on average are 17" x 24" diazo positive blue line prints on white background.
The 42 HABS drawings at the CSWR represent various architectural styles from Pueblo architecture to Spanish Colonial and Territorial structures. Drawings denote different communities and building types such as studies of Mesa Verde in Colorado, the ceremonial cave and large kiva in Bandelier National Monument, Pueblo Bonito and Kin Klizin in Chaco Canyon, and many Pueblo villages. Colonial Spanish churches, residences, the Governor's Palace in Santa Fe, Penitente moradas and the Spanish torreon in Manzano, and territorial structures like the Tipton Barn, in Tiptonville, Mora County and the Leon Ranch House and Fort Lowell's officer's house near Tucson are also included.
