PROFUNDO HERITAGE ARCHIVE

ORAL BIOGRAPHY / DOCUMENTING NEW MEXICAN LIVES

As the world drifts off course NUEVO MEXICO PROFUNDO is pleased to announce an ambitious project to document the past for the future. We’re inspired by the Works Progress Administration interviewers of the 1930s but differ from them in our intent to gather in-depth narratives of New Mexican lives. We also photodocument people, material culture, and settings pertinent to the interviews. Our goal is to build an archive of oral biographies so that people looking back on us in fifty or a hundred years will have an intimate view of our cultures and lifestyles. The archive is housed at the Center for Southwest Research, University of New Mexico.
