Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection consists of architectural plans for over 200 historic buildings located in New Mexico. The buildings were researched, measured, and the plans drawn by Bunting's students at the University of New Mexico Department of Architecture, 1965-1979. Drawings include floor plans, elevations, site plans and details of structures such as churches, chapels, moradas, houses, schools, stores, hotels, and railroad buildings. Included are examples of architecture from the Spanish colonial, territorial, and early statehood eras. Buildings that can be dated range from 1606-1932. A few of the drawings in the collection are copies of plans from the Historic American Buildings Survey, 1934-1940. These include buildings from Arizona, Louisiana, and other states as well as New Mexico.
The Bunting collection can be seen in three possible formats: 1. 8-1/2 x 11" paper reproductions in bound form, compiled by Bunting 2. Measured drawing format (mostly 18x24") or 3. 4 x 5" negative format. In certain cases, only one format may exist.
The bound volumes (I - XXI) (CSWR NA730 N6 B8 guide) were made from 4 x 5" negatives from the actual drawings. In some cases, there only exists a negative of the buildings or only a drawing. Upon further investigation, it was also found some of the drawings are not included, whereupon neither a negative nor a drawing exists. The 8-1/2" x 11 reproductions in the volumes possibly remain the only visual source for these drawings.
The addendum volumes (A - C) were created because these drawings were not originally cataloged in the Bunting volumes. No negatives exist for these drawings.
