Women in New Mexico Collection
File
Identifier: MSS-303-BC
Scope and Content
In 1976 the Albuquerque chapter of the American Association of University Women (AAUW) held an exhibit at The Albuquerque Museum to honor the contributions of women to the history, culture, and politics of New Mexico. The materials gathered by members of the AAUW in Albuquerque to determine which of the over one hundred women nominated were to be included in the exhibit form the core of this collection.
The collection contains correspondence, forms, audio CDs, clippings, and published articles on the women nominated by AAUW members, including explanations of why they were nominated and biographical information on the nominees. All of the women were 19th and 20th century women who were not all New Mexico natives, but who lived here and contributed to the artistic, political, and educational life of the state.
Ultimately, thirteen women were chosen for the exhibit. Biographical information, clippings, and recorded interviews with those women comprise folders 5-22. Folders 25-82 contain biographical information and clippings about fifty-six women who were nominated, but not included in the exhibit. The biographical folders are arranged in alphabetical order.
Newspaper clippings and publicity for the 1976 exhibit are also included in the collection.
The last folder in the collection has brief information about eighty women nominated by the New Mexico Women's Political Caucus as women of note in the 1980s.
Other biographical materials on New Mexico women may be added to this collection in the future.
