ABOUT THE ARCHIVES COMMITTEE
The CHS Archives Committee is responsible for the collection, preservation, and archiving of materials relating to the history of Corrales. These include historic maps, old photographs, oral histories on audio or video, censuses, genealogical information, Corrales historic building survey forms, newspaper articles, copies of old local newspapers, and histories of Corrales (most of them written by local residents). The Committee prepares displays for Heritage Day that have included local quilts, artworks by post- WWII artists, historic agricultural implements, and exhibits on the Alameda Grant, information on Sandia View Academy, family histories, 1950s professional photographs of the Corrales sand dunes and of the Baylor-Koontz Ranch, and an agricultural time line. Once or twice a year the Committee takes field trips to other history archives or local cemeteries, and recently toured Corrales archeological sites. We usually meet on the third Wednesday of each month and welcome new members. Please email or call Mary Davis at 505.898.5017 or email mpdavis69@gmail.com for more information.

New Historic Plaque Dedicated
The most recently approved plaque was installed on the Alejandro Gonzales House at 4499 Corrales Road on April 3 at 2:00 pm. Gonzales was a prominent Corrales farmer, well known for his progressive farming methods and his introduction of celery as a cash crop in this area. His home remains much as it looked when it was built in the early 1920s. The building is now owned by realtor Chris Sandoval. CHS members helping with this effort were Betsey Linneman, Alice Glover, and Chris Allen.
