Papers, 1540-1946 (bulk 1870-1946)

The collection is divided into two series: Lansing Bloom Personal Papers and AGI Research; and the John Gregory Bourke Papers. The Bloom series contains Bloom's private papers and descriptive lists of hundreds of documents pertaining to Northern Mexico, New Mexico and Southwest history from the AGI. In addition, it includes family, personal and professional correspondence. The John Gregory Bourke series contains manuscript, publication material and diary transcriptions related to John Gregory Bourke, soldier and ethnologist, and many Indian groups in the West and Southwest. The John Gregory Bourke materials were previously housed as their own collection, John Gregory Bourke Diaries. They were originally donated with the Lansing Bloom Papers, and thus are now back in the collection from whence they came.
