Albuquerque Progress Magazine Index Project Staff: Brandon Gonzales, Kelsey Grubb, Eileen O’Connell, Brianne Raspa Compiler: Brianne Raspa Editor: Eileen O’Connell Publisher: the PUBLIC LIBRARY Albuquerque and Bernalillo County under the auspices of the New Mexico Historical Records Advisory Board. Albuquerque, NM, 2016. This project was made possible with a grant from the New Mexico Historical Records Advisory Board, with administrative and financial assistance from the Friends for the Public Library and the Albuquerque Public Library Foundation, and with the support of Albuquerque Historical Society and HAI, Inc. About the Project: This index is the result of an ongoing project to increase access to Albuquerque Progress, a magazine published from 1934-1965 by Albuquerque National Bank. Albuquerque Progress recorded building permits for larger residences or businesses from 1935 to 1956. The reporting often included a paragraph about or a photo of new residences or businesses. In addition to documenting building permits, new businesses, renovation and infrastructure projects (e.g., Route 66), the magazine published themed issues. Issues devoted to the state fair, winter sports, Boys Ranch, Albuquerque churches, and Albuquerque industries and manufacturers provide a state-of-the-city snapshot for the time. The magazine’s black and white photos are often the best visual record we can locate of individual structures at the time they were first built. The project was funded by a grant from the New Mexico Historical Records Advisory Board. The project goal is to increase access to Albuquerque Progress. Special Collections Library staff is working with colleagues from UNM Library’s Digital Initiatives and Scholarly Communication to make copies of all 297 issues of Albuquerque Progress available through NM Digital Collections. The index was developed to support discovery and tagging of those issues as they are put online. As that project progresses, we hope that this edition of the index will increase discoverability for researchers who are working with paper or microfilm copies of Albuquerque Progress. Two earlier indexes to Albuquerque Progress have been compiled. One is a headline and caption index that covered the entire run of the magazine but largely omitted personal names and geographic identifiers. The other is a 1934-1947 index of properties referred to by street address, builder, and business or residential owner. This present index aims to capture more information in a fully searchable format and to combine the best features of the previous indexes. Guide to Using This Index: This edition of the index includes more than 17,900 lines of data in 391 pages. It is best used as an electronic resource. The search tool for the .pdf document enables researchers to maneuver through multiple entries over multiple issues. Using the index electronically avoids some of the name authority issues that will be resolved in later editions. For instance, the developer Charles E. McDuffie appears as both a personal and a company name. A search on McDuffie finds entries under both headings. Labeling individual issues and pages: Publication frequency for Albuquerque Progress was variable, and in its early years, volume and issue numbers were inconsistently applied. We have chosen instead to identify each issue using a yyyy-mm or, where multiple months were covered, yyyy-mm,mm format. The April 1940 issue is thus labeled 1940-04. Because text and images frequently appeared on the cover, the indexing begins with the cover of each issue as page 1. Building Permits: Building Permits were entered individually where possible, but the sheer volume of these entries and the time limit for the grant means that there is more data to be captured for later editions of the index. As the pace of the city’s growth increased, Albuquerque Progress stopped listing this information. If a researcher is unable to locate a specific address built between 1934 and 1957, it is worthwhile to ask a staff member for additional assistance. Color Coding: Yellow indicates the entry needs verification or correction: Green indicates an image, usually a photo, accompanies the entry: Blue indicates that a map accompanies entry: Red signals that multiple building permits are listed; if individual address cannot be located, consult staff member for assistance: Future Editions: Our next focus for the project is to put the issues online. Once online publication is complete, we hope to issue a revised edition of this index that will capture building permit data not included in this edition, correct errors, resolve name authority conflicts, and improve the format.
