in Progress - Land Grant Database
The
Center for Land Grant Studies and the Oñate
Center, with funding from Rio Arriba County, is
developing a database of all New Mexico land
grants. The initial version will list basic
information on each grant including primary source
references. Later versions, if additional funding
is secured, will include links to scans of original
grant documents, translations if available, maps
and other resources. When funding allows, the
database will be posted on the Internet at
www.southwestbooks.org & www.rioarribanm.com
and issued as a CD for both Windows &
Macintosh. A printed manual and bibliography will
be available to assist users of the database.
Database design is by Robin Collier and Malcolm
Ebright. Researchers include Malcolm Ebright, Rick
Hendricks, Norman Martinez and Richard Salazar.
Additional resources for the project are being
provided by the New Mexico State Archives. A very
preliminary listing of grants entered so far are
shown here: Grants
