Copyright 1988. Produced by Charles Shipley. This video was a prototype for proposed programs called "The Story of New Mexico: A Video Library." It first aired on KGGM-TV and was on exhibit at the Albuquerque Museum. Apparently this was the only video produced for this project. The Tobias Duran collection has the printed proposal. See Box 1, Folder 1 in CSWR Tobias Duran Collection.

Enclosed in VHS case was a letter from Sylvia Rodriquez dated Dec. 8, 1991. In the letter Sylvia Rodriguez (renowned scholar of matachines) critiques the video. See PDF of letter below in this repository collection. Actual letter in Box 1, Folder 1 in CSWR Tobias Duran Collection.
