The collection documents the history of Albuquerque's La Luz community via records of the La Luz Landowners Association Board of Directors and committees. Legal documents, agendas, meeting minutes, notes and correspondence form the core of this collection. Aside from routine business, prominent issues illuminated in the collection include architectural standards/integrity, unique maintenance concerns, development, and the like. News clippings and magazine articles highlight architect Antoine Predock's inimitable design of La Luz. Much of the material in the collection was amassed by Robert Gish during his tenure of the Board of Directors and on various committees.
