Scope and Content
From the Collection:
The collection consists of the personal materials of Alice Martin King wife of three-time New Mexico Governor Bruce King (1971-1974; 1979-1982; 1991-1994). This collection is devoted almost exclusively to her official capacity as the First Lady of New Mexico. While there is a small amount of material from the first term, the majority of documents are concentrated on the second term and to a much greater degree on the third term when she played a much more significant role. During the second and third terms, she reinvented the position of First Lady through her substantial involvement in improving healthcare, juvenile justice, social services and education. During the last term, she led the successful campaign to create the cabinet level department of Children, Youth and Families. Her collection ties in closely with the collection of her husband Bruce King. His collection contains a great deal of material documenting their relationship and her activities in state government.
