Every three months we travel to a historic facility outside of our own library. New Mexico has so many choices!

In September we will hold our meeting at the Citizens Committee for Historical Preservation meeting room in Las Vegas, NM, and invite local interested persons. More information about that will be posted here. For now, visit My Tiny Vegas to learn about the town, things to do, history of Fort Union, and "a place to eat yummy Northern New Mexican food." Program Chair Jeanette Gallegos also found that a walking tour of downtown Las Vegas will be available at $5/person.  

We will be setting up car pools for this activity, and ask that passengers share in the cost of gas. For car pool information, call:
President Robert Baca at (505) 299-7883 or e-mail at abqbobcat@nmia.com.
Program Chair Jeanette Gallegos at (505) 881-4094, or jeanettegallegos@comcast.net.
 

A special treat for everyone in or near Albuquerque, or planning a trip here!

Three Hundred Years of Albuquerque History
On exhibit through Sept. 6, 2008
at Special Collections Library.

This exhibit includes all of the books about Albuquerque published during the Tricentennial, featuring the newly-published genealogy of Alburquerque's founding families, "Aquì Se Comienza" by the New Mexico Genealogical Society. Also on display are documents and illustrations about early Albuquerque, loaned to us by the Center for Southwest Research of the University of New Mexico. This is a large compilation of images and documents about life in Albuquerque from its founding in 1706 up to modern times."
