The Black Alumni Association Collection presents a varied assortment of articles sourced from the University of New Mexico's student newspaper, the Daily Lobo, highlighting the challenges, accomplishments, and contributions of Black students during their time at the university, spanning from the 1940s to the 1970s with the bulk of the collection concentrated in the 1960s and 1970s.

The Merrill E. Stacy Collection (ca. 1900 - 1970) contains approximately 200 photograph prints, small albums, mounted portraits, and one Super8 mm film related to his personal life, family, and tour in the European Theater during World War II.

Note: Box 2 consists largely of unidentified photographs which appear to date from circa 1890s-1920s and not be located in New Mexico. These are possibly photos of relatives and/or ancestors of Merrill or Gloria.
