Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection is first arranged chronologically, and then alphabetically by subject matter. Chronological materials span from 1951 to 1970. Materials include meeting and planning notes, platform statements, constitution, publicity, correspondence, and meeting minutes. The documents show the growth and progress of Albuquerque Citizens Committee through correspondence, newsletters, membership lists, public opinion surveys on various municipal affairs, newspaper clippings, campaign platforms, legal and legislative documents and a few photographs. Subject files illuminate important issues for the committee such as city government re-organization, the Rio Grande Sewer scandal and the water supply insufficiencies, the police and fire dept inadequacies, and the transition from the Tingley administration. The collection lightly touches on the historical anniversary of the city and the committee’s successful nomination of Albuquerque as an All American City in 1958. Subject files contain correspondence, ephemera, unpublished reports, newspaper clippings, as well as published reports, charters and newspaper scrapbooks on issues such as bonds, flood control and elections.
