New Mexico Health Historical Collection (NMHHC)

The New Mexico Health Historical Collection is a unique collection which documents the history of health and healthcare for New Mexico. As such, it plays a critical role in preserving and making available these historically important and irreplaceable materials. This is both a great responsibility and an incredible opportunity to share with the greater community our state's rich and diverse history.

The Collection encompasses the following special programs:

Oral History Program

Over 175 interviews with the most senior and longest-practicing medical professionals in the state.

Other collection resources

Photographs, rare books, artifacts, New Mexico/Southwest books and reports, personal papers of health professionals, and materials on hospitals, sanitoria, and health organizations.
