Ralph Emerson Twitchell collection, 1610-1924.

Summary: Collection consists of Twitchell's personal papers, typed manuscripts, and a broad range of original documents, translations, and photocopies on the history of New Mexico. Personal papers include correspondence with various individuals and materials from the 1908 National Irrigation Congress in Albuquerque. New Mexico historical documents include originals and photocopies from New Mexico's Spanish, Mexican, and territorial periods, as well as English translations of some documents in the official Spanish Archives of New Mexico. Among these documents are land conveyances, deeds, and titles; wills; estate records; and many government records. Also within the collection are papers of several New Mexico families. The papers of Colonel Jose Maria Chaves (1702- 1920; bulk, 1845-1851) primarily concern his command of the expeditionary force of volunteers of the Mexican militia during the Ute Campaign of 1845. Archuleta family papers (1747-1909) primarily concern land in Cuyamungue and Pojoaque. Ortiz family papers (1726-1841) primarily involve Matias Ortiz and include some materials concerning Manuel Armijo. Lente family papers (1764-1834) include correspondence about the family genealogy and documents recording land transactions in Valencia County near Isleta. Sena family papers (1781-1858) include land transactions and materials on the militia in San Miguel del Vado. Genealogical materials on the C de Baca, Chaves, and Delgado families are also in this collection.
