Biographical / Historical
Biographical/Historical:
Photographs obtained by Chaco Center personnel, 1970-1985. During the course of the
Chaco Project, an attempt was made to acquire, through copies or donations of original
prints, historic photos of Chaco Canyon. Various institutions were contacted, as were UNM
Field School alumni. Few, if any, records were kept about how the images were acquired. All
small prints were pasted onto NPS 10-30 photocards and filed by site number in the Chaco
Center photographic files.
