Background Information

The Historic Santa Fe Foundation (HSFF) was incorporated in 1961 to receive tax exempt donations for historic preservation purposes, to acquire and administer historic properties, to conduct research in order to determine buildings worthy of preservation and to engage in other educational activities to preserve and maintain the historic landmarks and structures of Santa Fe, NM.

HSFF owns and administers several properties in Santa Fe, including The Pinckney R. Tully House, El Zaguan, and the Felipe B Delgado House. HSFF also manages the Loretto Chapel and has undertaken the restoration of the Manderfield Mausoleum at Rosario Cemetery.

The Foundation’s Old Santa Fe Today, a history of the buildings deemed worthy of preservation continues to be updated and republished. Their newsletter, Bulletin, keeps members informed about recent research and current projects.
