UNM LIBRARY OPENS THREE MANUSCRIPT COLLECTIONS

The University of New Mexico General Library's Center for Southwest Research announced the opening of three manuscript collections, making them available to researchers. The first is 'Roadside Crosses of New Mexico Oral History Project,' an oral-history collection that documents reflections and meanings given to roadside crosses, or 'descansos' in New Mexico. The project brings a deeper awareness of the Spanish descanso tradition to the public by documenting the historical origins, contemporary cultural history, and geographical locations of descansos in New Mexico. Traditionally, the descanso was a cross placed in the ground to mark the spot where mourners rested the coffin while on the walk from the home of the deceased person to the cemetery. With the introduction of the automobile, the tradition evolved to mark the place of death for victims of traffic or pedestrian accidents. The collection contains 35 interviews with 52 respondents.

....

The 'Witter Bynner Collection' makes up the third of these collections. Generated and gathered by Evelyn Ortner while researching her master's thesis, ''By Nature a Sociable Fellow' A Study of the Life and Literary Relationships of Witter Bynner' (Drew University, 1973), the collection's core consists of correspondence by, about and to Witter Bynner. Ortner's correspondence with Bynner dates from 1953-1964. Their conversations shed light on Bynner's writings and writing process, as well as his personal relationships, health issues, and the literary and arts scene of the time. Bynner writes to Ortner from his home in Santa Fe as well as Chapala, Mexico. Ortner's correspondence with Bynner's friends, colleagues, and acquaintances provides personal recollections of Bynner and his social circle, which included Haniel Long, Sara Teasdale, Paul Horgan, D. H. Lawrence and others.

FENTON MSS.

The Fenton mss., ca. 1927-1969, consist of letters to Frank L. Fenton, professor of English at Stanford University and San Francisco State College. Most of the letters are from poet Robert Nichols Hunt, 1907- , during the early years of his residence with poet Witter Bynner in Santa Fe, New Mexico. This particular group of letters describes at great length the literary, artistic, and social life of Santa Fe during 1930-1932. Four poems by Witter Bynner and fifteen by Robert N. Hunt are enclosed with or appended to several of the letters.

Other correspondents in the collection include Witter Bynner, Henry David Gray, Henry Dugdale Sykes, and Thomas Arden Wilson.

A folder of unidentified photographs and miscellaneous printed items completes the collection.

Collection size: 86 items

Indian Stories from the Pueblos, foreword by Witter Bynner; illustrations from original Pueblo Indian paintings. Philadelphia & London, J. B. Lippincott Co., 1929. 178 pp.

"Not only is he a familiar in the Tewa villages around his home town, Santa Fé, but months at a time he has lived in Hopi villages, lived the Hopi life, felt Hopi feelings, studied and revived Hopi art among the native pottery-makers, painted Hopi persons and ceremonies, and listened meantime to such stories as he has caught for us in this volume. He has caught them as patiently, as gently, as surely, as I have seen an Indian pick up in gifted hands a live wood-pecker from a tree-trunk or a live trout from a stream." -- WITTER BYNNER
