American Studies Faculty and Staff Publications (Academic Department Resources)

American Studies is a formal academic discipline that began more than seventy years ago as the United States was undergoing a series of crises over the meaning of the nation. Then, as now, American Studies has posed critical questions to Americans about the meaning of the United States in a global society. UNM's program, one of the first four American Studies programs in the nation, remains a dynamic place of critical inquiry, as well as a leading resource for scholarly explorations of the Southwest and New Mexico in particular.

Centennial of New Mexico Statehood (Research)

The Federal Presence in New Mexico: Statehood to 1945

Following sixty-two years as a federal territory, New Mexico became a state on January 6, 1912. Given New Mexico’s long tenure as a U.S. territory and the important roles the government fulfilled after statehood, the topic of federal presence in New Mexico links past to present. But the activities of the federal government are merely the entry point, a framework. A dynamic exchange existed between laws and policies created in Washington, D.C. and their application in New Mexico. Understanding the actions of citizens as well as communities permits us to see how circumstances and conditions in New Mexico had an impact on—and even changed—the federal government’s presence over time.

These brief historical accounts and accompanying scans are intended for a general interest readership. They seek to reveal the very human—and therefore complicated and at times conflicting—aspirations and expectations behind ideas and events that help mold the state in the twentieth century.

The entries are fragments of a larger narrative about twentieth-century New Mexico. During the Centennial of Statehood in 2012, I plan to publish the full version in a book examining the federal presence in New Mexico from 1900 to 2000. Until the book appears, though, this website presents drafts of topical selections. Between the summers of 2008 and 2010, over seventy entries will be posted on these subjects (listed in order of appearance): Oil and the Federal Presence; World War I; Attaining Statehood; The Progressive Era; The 1920s; The Great Depression; World War II.

The Centennial of New Mexico Statehood is a public service project of the Center for Regional Studies at the University of New Mexico’s Zimmerman Library. One mission of the Center for Regional Studies is to create new sources of knowledge about New Mexico, and these essays seek to do so. All historical interpretations are solely those of the author, Dr. David V. Holtby, and are derived independent of any official positions of either the Center for Regional Studies or the University of New Mexico. To promote accessibility for nonspecialists, the entries remove all scholarly citations. A list of sources, both archival and published, is found for each topic in the entry “On Your Own.” Comments and queries can be addressed to dholtby@unm.edu.

Centro Cultural Abya Yala del Ecuador (Research Collections and Data)

The Latin American Knowledge Harvester (LAKH) was a joint project of the University of New Mexico's Latin American and Iberian Institute (LAII) and the University Libraries (UL), under a grant from the US Department of Education which ended in 2009. The project created metadata in English for important Latin American cultural and scientific works in original languages (Spanish, Portuguese, and Quichua).

On June 11-13, 2008, a three-day meeting of LAKH partners was held at the University of New Mexico. At the meeting, Juan Bottasso and Anabel Castillo explained the origins of the Centro Cultural Abya Yala del Ecuador, and its objectives to advocate for the dignity and rights of indigenous peoples through the publication of verifiable research about, and, where possible, by indigenous peoples. Abya Yala initiated with Juan Bottasso’s work among the Shuar and other tribes of the Ecuadorian rain forest, and extended to cover Andean groups and publications from and about other Latin American countries. During this meeting, the LAII and UL signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Abya Yala that allowed the LAKH project to add English metadata and abstracts (where appropriate) to Abya Yala’s complete monographic collection, and post open-access electronic versions in the institutional repository. Hard copies of Abya Yala publications were also added to the UL collections as a result of the MOU. The reason for this joint project is to increase awareness of Abya Yala publications among an international, English-reading audience.

The Abya Yala section of UNM’s Digital Repository contains some of the most popular and frequently downloaded materials on the site. Please see the Readership Map below to observe the level of interest in and interaction with these materials.

Design and Planning Assistance Center - Projects (Architecture and Planning)

The mission of the Design and Planning Assistance Center (DPAC) is to deliver design and planning services to low-income communities throughout the state of New Mexico. DPAC was founded at the UNM School of Architecture & Planning (SA•P) in 1969, as part of a national community design movement that linked university design programs and design practitioners with communities in need. Today, DPAC is the second oldest, continuously operating, community design center based in a public university. In its 44-year history, DPAC has completed approximately 1500 projects, serving hundreds of communities—large and small—in every county of New Mexico. The DPAC Studio encourages broad-based thinking about urban design and planning. As Architects, Landscape Architects and Planners, we collaborate in a process that includes research, community participation, asset inventory, analysis, programming, site planning, design and recommendations for project implementation. We tackle the design process at multiple scales as we consider regional trends and characteristics, transportation issues, economic conditions, unique development and architectural patterns, local history, community climate, and community goals via the stakeholders.

The New Mexico Composers' Archive was initiated in 1973 by Dr. John Harvey, then the Dean of Libraries at the University of New Mexico, as an effort to collect primary source materials for the active research faculty and graduate students in the Department of Music. The archive’s mission was to acquire original materials from composers who have had important connections with the University or the State of New Mexico, and who have contributed significantly to our culture. The archive was accumulated with the expectation that future generations will be able to learn something of composition in “our" time and perhaps gain a better understanding of composition in their own time.

The New Mexico Composers Archive contains original and published music manuscripts, as well as programs and sound recordings of performances. Also included are articles and newspaper clippings, photographs, typed and handwritten notes, and correspondence, as well as documents used by organizations in the New Mexico music and arts community. Significant contributors include Joseph W. Grant, Elliott Higgins, Scott Lakin Jones, Ramon Noble, William E. Rhoads, Alan Stringer, Isabelle Weimer, Scott Wilkinson, and Michael Mauldin.

Spanish Colonial Research Center (Center for Southwest Research)

Introduction

As a way of recognizing our Spanish colonial past in the present-day United States and in commemoration of the Columbus Quincentennial in 1992, the National Park Service established the Spanish Colonial Research Center in 1986 as a partnership with the University of New Mexico. The Spanish Colonial Research Center's primary purpose is to preserve its collection of early Spanish colonial documents and maps and develop finding aids. It employs University of Mexico students interested in learning Spanish Colonial and Mexican National Period paleography. The Spanish Colonial Research Center cooperates with research entities in Spain, Portugal, and Mexico and is a part of the Center for Southwest Research (CSWR) at Zimmerman Library at the University of New Mexico. Dr. Stephen Mandrgoc serves as the Program Coordinator for the conservation of the collection.

The Resources of the Spanish Colonial Research Center

Under the direction of Dr. Joseph P. Sánchez, the Center accumulated over 500,000 pages of microfilmed Spanish colonial documents and approximately 8000 maps, architectural plans, and sketches of colonial North America from primarily 34 archives in Spain, Mexico, Portugal, France, Italy, and the Caribbean. The Center works to compile these collections, which historically reflect significant aspects of our national story, into digital format for public use. In association with the University of New Mexico, the Spanish Colonial Research Center provides opportunities for national and international scholarly exchanges.

The Spanish Colonial Research Center’s database serves researchers interested in the Spanish Colonial period in North American and the early Mexican National Period in the Greater Southwest. Previously, the SCRC has assisted the National Park Service and sister agencies in the interpretation/preservation of its programs, as well as providing a wealth of material for researchers at the University of New Mexico. It has provided the National Park Service parks with Spanish-language translations of wayside exhibits, General Management Plans, brochures, correspondence, and other important services linking our nation’s history to events during the Spanish Colonial period, including a standardized usage of Spanish grammar, syntax, and vocabulary which ensures accessibility for Spanish-speaking visitors at various national parks.

Our Spanish Colonial Heritage

Nearly 22 summers had passed after Christopher Columbus' first voyage in 1492, when Spanish explorers under Juan Ponce de León stood on the shores of Florida and claimed it for Spain. By the middle 1540s other expeditions such as those led by Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo, and Hernando de Soto, had explored from California to Florida. These and other expeditions caught the first glimpse of North America for Europeans in the first half century since the European discovery of the New World. The legacy of the encounter between early Europeans and Native Americans throughout the New World is still with us today.

Spanish colonial exploration, settlement, and development of vast regions of North America are a part of our national story, which has made a major contribution to North America's settlement patterns, law, history, culture, and language. Long before there was a Jamestown, Virginia, or a Plymouth Rock, there was a San Agustin in Florida (1565) and San Juan de los Caballeros in New Mexico (1598). Between 1492 and 1821, the Spanish claim to North America extended from Alaska to Florida and the Caribbean as well as Mexico, Central and South America.

The National Park Service's Spanish Colonial Heritage sites range from Alaska to the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, and from California to Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas--all areas in North America once claimed by Spain. Among the many historically significant sites in the continental United States are Cabrillo National Monument in San Diego, the site visited by Rodríguez Cabrillo, 1543; El Morro National Monument ("Inscription Rock") in New Mexico where early Spanish travelers such as Juan de Oñate (1604) carved their names; St. Augustine established by Pedro Menéndez de Avilés (1565) in Florida; and other mission and fortification sites in the greater Southwest and Southeastern states.

The body of work presented in this volume resulted from a National Science Foundation multi-year award in the fall of 2010 as part of the NSF Dynamics of Coupled Natural-Human Systems Program, Grant No. 101516. The project was titled: Acequia Water Systems Linking Culture and Nature—Integrated Analysis of Community Resilience to Climate and Land Use Changes. The grant was made to New Mexico State University with a sub-award to the Center for Regional Studies (CRS) at the University of New Mexico (UNM). The main purpose of the research was to study the components of resilience within coupled hydrologic and human systems in the northern Rio Grande watershed of New Mexico with a focus on traditional uses of water by acequia communities. The study sites for the project included the Rio Hondo Valley in Taos County, the Alcalde stretch of the main stem Rio Grande near Española, and the El Rito Valley in the Rio Chama basin.

At the Center for Regional Studies, the UNM research team selected the Rio Chama drainage as a geography that lent itself to the study of a multicultural society in a regional basin reflecting the dynamics of change at temporal and spatial scales. In the CRS sub-award scope of work, the major deliverables included graduate student research reports, a journal article co-authored by a team of faculty and graduate students, a social-ecological history of the Rio Chama basin, and an inventory of land covers and water bodies in maps. All of these goals were accomplished by the fall of 2015, and most of the work was subsequently compiled into this 2016 edited volume titled: The Rio Chama Basin--Land, Water, and Community. From inception, the Resource Center for Raza Planning (RCRP) at the UNM School of Architecture and Planning collaborated with the Center for Regional Studies providing mapping and technical support. With grants from the McCune Foundation, RCRP organized summer programs that were based in El Rito and other locations along the lower Rio Chama and its confluence with the Rio Grande. The RCRP projects complemented the NSF coupled natural and human systems research program and were subsequently edited for inclusion in this compiled volume.

The first section of the volume features two monographs, one that narrates the social-ecological history of the Rio Chama basin from Pre-Columbian times into the modern era, and a second one that focuses on land claims and homesteads within the Santa Fe National Forest from 1906-1937. The second section contains articles on the roots of community in the historic Rio Arriba region with a focus on mutualism, cultural endurance and resilience; a case study of the Petaca land grant at the time of review by the U.S. Court of Private Land Claims; and a published journal article on the use of qualitative and visualization methodologies as tools for regional water planning. The third section includes a series of graduate student projects that examined the cultural evolution, landscape morphology and land use change in Rio Arriba County. This section also contains a field school report for the economic development of the Rio Arriba Indo-Hispano homeland; a related study that documents querencia and place-based community planning,; and a preservation plan for the Pueblo de Abiquiú developed by a summer urban design studio. The fourth and last section of the volume incorporates geographic mapping data for the reader to consult as supplementary material: (a) an aerial imagery and figure ground study of local communities; (b) a series of land cover maps with river systems, natural features and place names; (c) 1935 aerial maps of Rio Arriba County; and (d) hydrographic survey maps of Rio Chama sections and tributaries.

Acknowledgments

The principal investigator for the NSF award at New Mexico State University was Alexander Fernald, assisted by co-principals José Rivera at UNM, John Wilson at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, and Vincent Tidwell at Sandia Laboratories. Other partners in the research included the New Mexico Acequia Association, the Taos Valley Acequia Association, the El Rito Acequia Association, the El Rito Regional Water and Waste Water Association, and the Alcalde Acequia Association. At UNM we thank the Center for Regional Studies Director, Tobías Durán, for sponsoring the NSF CNH sub-award and also for his many years of support that funded a multitude of land and water projects in context of the American Southwest. The sub-award budget was administered by Marina Cadena, CRS Unit Administrator. We thank Marina for processing the accounting documents and other paperwork needed to implement the Rio Chama study. We also acknowledge the UNM graduate students who conducted research for the project during the five-year NSF award and whose work we incorporated for inclusion in this volume: Sam Markwell, J. Jarrett García, Marcos A. Roybal, Sophia Thompson, and Roberto H. Valdez. Assistant Professor Moises Gonzales, Director of the Resource Center for Raza Planning at the UNM School of Architecture and Planning, served as a collaborator and along with many of his graduate students he provided mapping and other technical support to the research team.

William J. Koster Field Journals (Museum of Southwestern Biology)

The Division of Fishes at the University of New Mexico Museum of Southwestern Biology offers access to an archive of historic field notes authored by William J. Koster, UNM's first Professor of Vertebrate Zoology. This is an ongoing project, and as part of its mission to serve as an educational resource for the University of New Mexico community and beyond, the project's goals are to digitally capture field notes associated with the Museum of Southwestern Biology fish collections and make them available for online querying and browsing.

Current grant funding has allowed for William Koster's field notes dating between 1939 and 1956 to be the first to be available. Subsequent funding opportunities will allow the Museum to add expended content from Koster's field research as well as other biologists who have contributed to the Museum's collections of flora and fauna from New Mexico and the southwestern United States.

William J. Koster's field notes are presented here as an online archive of information from his surveys of populations and life histories of fish species collected from the Rio Grande, San Juan, Gila and Pecos River drainage's. Koster's field notes are in Adobe PDF format.
