OTHER CSWR RESOURCES (online)
From the CSWR home page, on the left side bar, click this open, then click on UNM's Digital Repository. On the UNM Repository page midway down -- See - Open Journals - and then open this portal.
One of the online sources here for African American history in the state is the - New Mexico Historical Review. The NMHR, 1926 - present, is a scholarly, peer - reviewed journal published at the History Department of UNM. Over the years it has carried a number of articles or references related to African Americans, including the mulatto leader of the 1680 Pueblo Revolt, Buffalo soldiers, reconstruction, slavery issues, etc.
Hard copies of current and back issues and indexes for the NMHR are in the CSWR Anderson Reading Room.
Tip: If you don't find your term in the NMHR online via the UNM Repository Open Journals Portal, then try the database list on the Library home page under Alpha P - database called - Periodicals Online Archive - POA. it searches the NMHR from 1926 to 2000, with better results than the Repository. It is full text. Go to the POA tab - Publications - select Alpha N - and find the NMHR down the list. Then enter your term in the search box.
Note: If you still need material, in the CSWR's New Mexico Vertical Files, there is a folder with references in past issues of the NMHR for African Americans - has some items not found by the above methods. Ask for it at CSWR Anderson Reading Room.
