Scope and Content

From the Collection: The Keep New Mexico Beautiful collection contains documents concerning KNMB's participation in civic beautification including newspaper clippings, scrapbooks, photographs, correspondence, and administrative files. The collection reflects KNMB's interest in projects relating to civic beautification, litter control and environmental education. Files include materials from organizations such as Keep America Beautiful, Arbor Day Foundation, garden clubs, and state agencies. The collection is divided into 5 series.

Scrapbooks and Clippings consists mostly of copies of clippings that were originally in scrapbooks organized by geographic area. These are maintained in their original order as compiled in the scrapbooks. Most of the clippings deal with local involvement, citizen participation, and urban beautification and renewal efforts in communities throughout New Mexico.

The Eunice Kalloch Day Scrapbook documents the honors and awards she received for her role in the beautification movement.

Correspondence and Publicity consists mostly of letters between KNMB and its members. It also contains newsletters from such organizations as KNMB, Clean World International, and the Kirtland Officers' Wives Club.
