About

The Picuris-Peñasco Community Memory Project is a living collection of historical and creative works  by local residents about Northern New Mexico life. Encompassing Farm Security Administration (FSA)  photographs; 40 year old professional video productions; images and documents from family scrapbooks; and current-day student interviews and media projects, the Picuris-Peñasco Community Memory Project promises to represent the voices of the community. Our intent is by sharing these works and by reflecting on our heritage we can support our cultural, educational and environmentally sustainable way of life. By creating this living-collection, contributors will, in turn, activate new works and community conversations to protect and preserve the natural beauty, viability and well-being of all its members.
