Edward E. Crocker photograph collection [picture]. 1989-1990.

This collection documents the renovation of the Santuario de Guadalupe, an historic Catholic church in Santa Fe, New Mexico, and the archaeology that resulted. During the renovation in 1989 human remains were found buried under the floor of the Santuario. The images of the renovation process and the artifacts found were taken by both Edward Crocker and Hawthorne Studio of Santa Fe, N.M. Both the pictures and slides have been organized and numbered chronologically. The slides have been separated out and put into three-ring binders. The folders in which the photos are kept have the corresponding slide numbers written on them, along with the dates and identifying numbers given by Crocker and Hawthorne Studio. Many of the pictures and slides are also identified by the burial site in which they were taken.

1263 Slides.
