Mexican Romantic Postcards, Center For Southwest Research

Love in the Archives 2019

This collection of “cartulinas de amor” represents a little studied aspect of post-revolutionary Mexican culture and middle class ideals. These images and texts show the intimate part of society, the changing mores, views of family, home and society. The collection affords the opportunity to view many disciplines, including portrait photography, art, intimacy, love, courtship, family, family relationships, class and gender.

The collection consists of postcards that date from 1908 to the 1940s with the majority in the teens, 1920s and 1930s. Most are photographic portraits of anonymous subjects, while others feature songs, poems, or portraits of celebrities such as Lupe …

New Mexico Composers Archive, Unm Digital Initiatives & Scholarly Communication

Love in the Archives 2019

Merging the digital with the physical, the New Mexico Composers' Archive (MSS 904 BC) was featured on screen and in print during Love in the Archives. Begun in 1973 by then-Dean of Libraries Dr. John Harvey, the collection has been partially digitized. Exhibit-goers were able to interact with the digital and physical objects and draw their own conclusions about the pros and cons of each format. A few pieces were newly digitized for the exhibit and they are included here.

Planning And Completing A Book Drive For Malawi, Karen R. Mcelfresh, Laura J. Hall, Patricia Repar

Posters and Presentations

In the Spring of 2017, our library conducted a book drive for the Malawi College of Health Sciences in Blantyre, Malawi. The College’s library serves about 700 students, as well as health care professionals from a neighboring hospital. However, the library lacks sufficient resources, with most of their books being outdated or in poor condition, which diminishes health care quality in Malawi.

Wedding Photographs, Unm Center For Southwest Research

Love in the Archives 2019

Representing each decade from the late 19th to the early 21st centuries, CSWR has many identified (and unidentified) photographs of people demonstrating their love through marriage. At this point, our depictions are a narrow range of traditional views--brides, grooms, and wedding party configurations. However, we continue to build our collections and welcome images that would expand our definitions of love, marriage, weddings, etc.

Posada Prints, Unm Center For Southwest Research

Love in the Archives 2019

These four examples of broadsides (fliers sold for a few pennies) from Mexico (Mexico City, c. 1888-1920) are typical of their genre. They present poems and songs (sometime ballads known as corridos) about love -- a lover's dance, love of one's mother, secret love -- with passion and a bit of humor.
