The online finding guide catalog of the New Mexico State Archives
The State Archives is one of New Mexico’s most important historical and cultural resources. As the central repository of state government records and the custodian of numerous private papers and manuscript collections, the State Archives is the primary steward of New Mexico’s documentary heritage. The repository houses records from the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government, including documents dating from New Mexico’s Spanish (1621-1821), Mexican (1821-1846), and Territorial (1846-1912) periods of history.
Our finding aids contain descriptive information and links to digitized primary source materials maintained and preserved by the New Mexico State Archives. Holdings include documents, photographs, motion picture film, maps, sound recordings, and bound materials. Researchers may search our online finding guides to locate primary source material relative to their interests.
Archival holdings are vast, so cataloging is ongoing. If you cannot find what you are looking for, please contact the Archives reference desk at (505) 476-7948 or via e-mail at [email protected]. The catalog is updated regularly.
