Rio Grande Historical Collections Photographs, 1885-1950s

The NMSU Library Archives and Special Collections houses about two million items in its photographic collections, with materials that cover more than 150 years of image making in New Mexico, the U.S./Mexico border region, and the Southwest. The photographs provide visual documentation of all aspects of the region’s history, with an emphasis on the unique cultural heritage of the area. Presently, the Rio Grande Historical Collections Photographs collection contains photographs that were digitized and described by NMSU students in 2022. The digitization of RGHC photographs was possible due to NMSU COVID19 Performance Fund granted to NMSU Library by the U.S. Department of Education, Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund (HEERF) in December 2021. The collections provide a striking visual representation of social history, material culture, ranching, mining, agriculture, water and irrigation, the development, expansion, and sometimes abandonment of population centers, and the landscape of New Mexico. The materials come from family photograph collections as well as the collections of several major southern New Mexico photographic studios. Nearly all photographic processes are represented in the collections, from daguerreotypes and other cased images, negatives on glass and film, and a multitude of print processes, to digital photography.
