Museum of New Mexico Foundation

The New Mexico History Museum IMLS award will be used to broaden the scope and impact of the New Mexico History Museum beyond its walls. Collaborating with PBS affiliate KNME in Albuquerque, the project will create 15 three-to five-minute “mini-documentaries” featuring Hispanic, Native American, Anglo American, and other peoples, emphasizing the state’s rich cultural heritage. The documentaries will be viewed by museum visitors in a 205-seat auditorium, broadcast by KNME to more than 680,000 possible viewers in central and northern New Mexico, rebroadcast by two PBS stations to reach the entire state, and be available on the History Museum and KNME Web sites.
