Project History
Cundiyo, New Mexico, is a small, predominantly Hispanic village, located 20 miles north of Santa Fe. The village was founded by Captain Vigil early in the 19th century.
Several times during the twentieth century, scholars, working in conjunction with university programs or government agencies, conducted field research with the residents of Cundiyo, New Mexico. The projects sought to study social, cultural, and economic aspects of village life.
Joseph E. Weckler, faculty member of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at the University of Southern California conducted fieldwork in Cundiyo in 1940-1941, returning in 1962 for a follow-up study. Morris Siegal, a graduate student from the University of Chicago was at Cundiyo in 1942. And, Dr. William Skinner, faculty with Cornell University's Department of Anthropology, conducted research in Cundiyo in September 1948.
Paul Kutsche, professor emeritus from Colorado College, planned to study and publish on Cundiyo sometime after Weckler's 1962 field work. In preparation for this project, which never reached fruition, Kutsche brought this collection of research materials together.
