San Rafael, San Mateo and Grants, New Mexico Oral Histories Project, 2006-2009
Series
Scope and Contents
This project focuses on residents of the northwestern region of New Mexico. Oral history interviews with members of these communities were conducted in 2006-2009. The interviews tell the story of the region’s transition from a ranching economy through the uranium boom to the present day tourist and service economy. Residents also describe the role of religion and the community and the importance of Hispano traditions and food ways in the lives of their parents and grandparents. The project includes digital audio interviews, transcripts, genealogies, photographs and documents. Added to the collection in January 2018.
