Armijo, Nicolas T., 1835-1890. Family papers, 1865-1947.

Title: Family papers, 1865-1947.

The Nicolas T. Armijo family papers is a collection of correspondence and documents relating to the Armijo family's personal and business dealings. The collection provides an interesting glimpse into 19th and early 20th century Mexico (Chihuahua) and New Mexico (Albuquerque), from the business and social perspectives of the upper class. Wedding invitations, funeral announcements, gossipy letters, genealogical data, make up the bulk of this collection. Although the collection focuses on Nicholas T. Armijo, it contains materials relating to others in the extended Armijo family such as Sofia Armijo Hubbell, Barbara Chavez de Armijo, wife of Nicolas, and John Borradaile. Borradaile came to Albuquerque on one of the first Santa Fe Railroad trains from New York, in the early 1880s and married Lola (Dolores) Armijo, a cousin of Nicolas T. Armijo. The business relationship between Armijo and Luis Terrazas, soldier, politican, and businessman from Chihuahua, Mexico is also documented in the collection. The collection remains in the order in which it was given to the Center for Southwest Research. Notes, comments, and item descriptions were provided by John Colligan, a descendent of the Armijo and Borradaile families.

Parker, Morris B., 1871-1957. Papers of Morris B. Parker, 1886-1947.

Title: Papers of Morris B. Parker, 1886-1947.

This collection consists of typescripts of reminiscences, diaries, notebooks, and photographs. The first typescript was written in 1941 and is an autobiography that details Parker's life from his high school days in New York to his times in Alaska, Mexico, and New Mexico as a mining engineer and assayer. The next typescript was written in 1945 and is titled "History and my story about White Oaks 1880-1900." This typescript gives more depth into his families' life in White Oaks as mine owners and as a prominent family in the community. The last typescript was written in 1947 and is titled "Mules, mines, and me in Mexico." This typescript covers Parker's life in Chihuahua and Sonora, Mexico and his extensive travels throughout the region as a mining engineer and consultant for such mining companies as Fortuna-North Tigre, La Repb︢lica, and many others. In this typescript he discusses the following people: Plutarco Elias Calles (1877-1945), Britton Davis (1860-1930), James Stuart Douglas (1868-1949), William Cornell Greene (1853-1911), George Wylie Paul Hunt (1859-1934), William Colt MacDonald (1891-1968), Pascual Orozco (1882-1915), Luis Terrazas (1829-1923), and Pancho Villa (1878-1923). Parker also covers the Mexico Revolution, 1910-1920 and conflicts with Yaqui Indians. The diaries give accounts of the daily life of Morris B. Parker from when he was in high school to his travels and life while in Alaska, Mexico, and New Mexico. The notebooks go into the minute details of his trips to various mines as a mining consultant, engineer and assayer, including traveling conditions, itemized travel expenses, drawings of mine shafts, different calculations of ores he assayed, and discussions of the cyanide process of extracting ore. The photographs that were originally with the typescripts have been removed and placed into Boxes 5 and 6. Negatives taken of the original pages that the photogrpahs were mounted on are in Box 6.
