Edwin Berry historical records oral history collection, 1979-2000 (bulk 1979-1982).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/46592660

This collection consists of 30 CDs each containing one hour of oral interviews and/or renditions by Edwin Berry (Baca), a pioneer resident of Tome, New Mexico. These interviews were conducted by Dr. Rowena Rivera, a former professor of Spanish at the University of New Mexico. In 1979, Dr. Rivera interviewed Edwin Berry who was at the time 66 years old. Mr. Berry gave an account of life in the Tome area in the early part of the 20th century. In addition to the oral history, the recordings include ancient Alabados which were collected by Father Juan B. Rallière, who served a parish priest of Tome from 1858-1911. Father Rallière traveled extensively in New Mexico collecting religious songs that were published under the title of Canticos espirituales. This collection also includes Ash Wednesday and Good Firday services conducted in Tome, N.M., a discussion of the 36th annual meeting of the New Mexico Folklore Society, and oral interviews of Lietuenant Governor Roberto Mondragón, Pedro Ribera Ortega, Pablita Velarde, Judge Tibo Chavez, Dr. Jose Espinosa and Howard Brian.
