Village Historian, Mary Davis
The CHS Archives Committee collects, preserves, and archives materials relating to the history of Corrales.
This includes but is not limited to photographs, newspapers, and oral/written histories by residents.
In addition to being recorded in our files, well over a thousand photos are now part of the digital archives collection
managed by the University of New Mexico, where they can be viewed using the instructions found below under
Corrales in the Past. The committee also promotes a themed Heritage Day each year. Interest in our collection has
been shown by the Smithsonian, the New Mexico History Museum, and academic historians from across the country.

The Corrales Historical Society is saddened to announce the passing of our esteemed longtime member,
Rafael J. “Ralph” Martinez, who died on April 6 at the age of 91.
Ralph was well-known throughout Sandoval County for his dedicated public service, having worked as a
local poll worker for 47 years. He also served on various planning and zoning commissions, including
18 years at the county level. As a descendant of Corrales, Ralph often participated in our CHS Speaker Series Program.
Always wearing a smile, he was a significant figure in our community and will be dearly missed.

Corrales in the Past
Pictures of people, buildings, landscapes, events and activities in Corrales history, sometimes dating back more
than 100 years, are available online! The photos, donated to the CHS Archives Committee by Corrales families,
have been added to our collections and then uploaded and stored in the
New Mexico Digital Collections (NMDC) coordinated by the UNM Library.
Our collection of Corrales history includes not only the online photos, but articles, newspapers, books, obituaries,
census materials, oral histories, videos, and much more. These materials will be added to our online collection
as time goes by. In the meantime, you can make an appointment to view materials by appointment.
