The '''Fray Angélico Chávez History Library''' of the '''''New Mexico History Museum ''''' is successor to New Mexico's oldest library (1851) and is part of the Palace of the Governors complex, just around the corner from that palace pictured above. It is a non-circulating, closed stack research facility, preserving the history of the state, the Southwest, and meso-America from pre-European contact to now. | |||
Library strengths include topics like the Santa Fe Trail, Civil War in New Mexico, Spanish American War, Rough Riders, World War I, historical New Mexico celebrities, Spain, Mexico, Central America, the American Southwest, and the Historical Society of New Mexico. Collections of '''''Railroad maps ''''' show land use, water rights, settlements and aspects of development in New Mexico. The '''''obituary database ''''' from the 1870s to 2005 started more statewide, but gradually became more focused on Santa Fe in recent years. '''''Vertical files ''''' are about Santa Fe, towns of New Mexico, and New Mexico.<ref>[http://www.palaceofthegovernors.org/catalogue.html Search Catalogs] in ''Palace of the Governors'' (accessed 27 January 2015).</ref> The '''''Museum collection ''''' has more than 15,000 cataloged objects.<ref>[http://www.palaceofthegovernors.org/collections.html Collections] in ''Palace of the Governors'' (accessed 27 January 2015).</ref> | |||
