These records consist of twenty-two boxes which were originally part of the Soil Conservation Service's Southwest Region library in Albuquerque, N.M. The Southwest Region, Region 8, covered Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado, and Utah. Original library catalog numbers appear in the contents list under each entry. The collection contains reports, maps, photographs, soil surveys, and diagrams for areas in the Southwest Region. Work plans and programs for the soil conservation districts contain lists of property owners and maps of their holdings. Some of the reports in the Rio Grande area cover life in the Hispanic villages of New Mexico in the 1930's and there are reports and photographs of the flood destruction of the village of San Marcial, N.M. in 1929. Boxes 18 and 19 contain valuable information on the life and customs of Indian tribes, such as the Pima, Hualapai, Papago, and the San Carlos and San Xavier Reservations in Arizona. The four boxes pertaining to the work of the Soil Conservation Service on the Navajo Reservation in the 1930's contain economic reports, photographs, reports on grazing problems, soil and water conservation, and human dependency statistics. A keyword index at the end of the inventory will help researcher locate specific information within the inventory. The index is primarily to geographic locales.
