The Sandoval County Historical Society plays an important role in the community as both a historical archive and as an educational resource. Recently the society has had to take in records from some communities that burned to the ground in last year’s wildfires. The society needs help in managing these additions and also protecting and rehousing its photo collection. Join us and be a part of New Mexico’s history.
