Background Information
The project goal was to "make an oral record of the way of life in rural villages of San Miguel, Mora, Guadalupe, and Colfax counties as it was lived by the Spanish-speaking people from the period of 1890-1930." The project was the idea of Eileen Eshner, then head librarian at the Carnegie Library in Las Vegas, NM. The Carnegie Public Library received funding, circa 1975, for the project via a Library Services Construction Act grant, administered by the New Mexico State Library. A subsequent grant, circa 1993, from the State of New Mexico enabled translation, transcription and indexing of the tapes from Spanish into English. Original interviews were conducted by Bernabé Jaramillo and Mary Valdez.
