National Library Week was first observed in 1958 to promote and support libraries and celebrate their contributions to American society. This year’s National Library Week theme, Ready, Set, Library!, explores the many ways libraries quickly connect researchers to enriching and useful resources.
One important online source for researchers interested in New Mexico history is New Mexico Digital Collections (NMDC). This platform provides access to born-digital and digitized content, such as oral histories, images, maps, and other documents, from archives, museums, and libraries across the state.
As part of a HSLIC seed funding grant, Special Collections staff recently added 40 new collections (over 375 images) to NMDC. New collections include:
- Regina School of Nursing photograph collection
- Obsolete and former hospitals and clinics photograph collections
- Anne Fox photograph collection
- Institutional photograph collection
- New Mexico Insulin Pump photograph collection
Researchers can view content in NMDC by doing a basic keyword search, doing an advanced search, or browsing by collections or repositories.
