Records from the excavation and restoration of the Santuario de Guadalupe, Santa Fe, N.M. 1976-1999 (bulk 1989-1990).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/53835626

The bulk of this collection relates to the records kept by Edward Crocker concerning renovation of the Santuario de Guadalupe, a historic Catholic church in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the archaeology that resulted. The collection documents renovation work, archaeology, and architecture with contracts, newspaper articles, correspondence, notes, manuscripts, background research, photographs and slides. The material covers the time span from the formation of the Guadalupe Historic Foundation in 1974 through 1999. The bulk of the material is dated 1989-1990, documenting Crocker's contract to do structural support work and archaeology on the Santuario de Guadalupe. Also documented are the many problems played out in real time and in the newspapers by the discovery of human remains within the confines of the Santuario. Other relevant events represented in this collection include grant funding debates, the use of the Santuario as a religious or cultural venue, and the disposition of the human remains found buried under the floor of the Santuario. The role played by the Archdiocese of Santa Fe, the Commission for the Preservation of Historic New Mexico Churches, and the lay brotherhood known as the Hermanos Penitentes are also key ingredients in the story documented by this collection.

The historic Santuario de Guadalupe is said to have been built between 1776-1795. The original structure was typical of 18th Century indigenous architecture. The Church went through profound architectural changes to accomodate the changes in political and ecclesiastical administration. With the passage of time the old church was left to the elements and vandalism. In 1974, the Guadalupe Historic Foundation was formed and received title to the historic church plus a half block of surrounding land...
