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.
