Unmarked Human Burial Rule Change

Preservation happens locally. It's site specific—in your building, your block, your town, your landscape. Preservation is happening across New Mexico: an archaeological site in Silver City, a hotel in Clayton, a castle in Montezuma, a church in Acoma and a school in Albuquerque.

So, what role does the State Historic Preservation Office play? You'll see on this web site that we partner with a large number of agencies, organizations, businesses and individuals. You'll also note that what happens in New Mexico doesn't always occur elsewhere in the country. New Mexico has a State Register, its own system of Tax Credits to help preserve historic architecture and a state-of-the-art, online Archaeological Records Management section, just to name a few of our programs. If you are seeking a Section 106 review, the information you need to comply with current law is right on this website.

This web site is intended to help you access information to assist you with preservation. As much as preservation happens locally it also happens personally. The staff list of contacts is included to provide a personal contact. We are here to facilitate the process of preservation to continue happening at the local, state and national levels.

The Woman's Club of Carrizozo was built in 1939 under the WPA. Still used as a woman's club, the building features a circular meeting room with a trussed, beamed ceiling. Why should you care about the New Deal in 2008? Many of the parks you and your children enjoy, the rules that safeguard your investments and bank accounts, Social Security and the water system that brings utilities into your home are the direct results of New Deal programs. Their worth often is taken for granted, today, but the legacy has shaped many of the cultural and economic mainstays of the last 75 years. Beginning March 31, 2008, New Mexico and the rest of the country will begin the 75th anniversary celebration of the architecture, engineering feats and fine public art that was completed as part of the national effort to lift the nation out of the greatest economic crisis in its history. Commemorative events will last for one year, but now is the time for you and your community to get involved in this national celebration.
