•  Historic photographs of churches taken from 1871 to 1941 in New Mexico

Over the years since 1871, many government agencies have used photographers to take pictures in New Mexico. The National Archives has collected some of these pictures of northern New Mexican churches. Government agencies have included the War Department, the National Park Service, Smithsonian Institude, and the Department of Agriculture. Noted photographer Ansel Adams took photographs numbered 6, 7, 8, and 9 displayed on the next page.
