Sam Adams: An African American Civil War Veteran and his New Mexican Life
Please join Hannah Abelbeck, Photo Archivist, with the New Mexico History Museum, for an online talk featuring Sam Adams, an African American Civil War veteran who later settled in New Mexico, as part of our Friends of History lecture series.
The presentation will put Adams in context with his contemporaries and explores the difficulty of looking for information about minor and overlooked historical figures whose stories usually aren’t center stage.
Hannah Abelbeck is the Photo Archivist in the Palace of the Governors Photo Archives department at the New Mexico History Museum. She has a BA in English and Art History from the University of Kansas and an MA in English from Penn State University, and she’s worked with special collections archives at both universities. She researches Southwestern (especially New Mexican) photographers, documentary and vernacular photography, cultural movements, and histories of gender and sexuality. At NMHM, she is working on increasing digital access to the museum’s vast photo collections.

N.M. Art Book Club
New Mexico Museum of Art
Is there anything more enjoyable than looking at art and talking about books? We at the Museum Library don’t think so and that’s why we’re starting an art-themed book club! Four times a year you are invited to pick up a suggested title related to art, artists, art elements or the “art world” and join us in the galleries for a new perspective on exhibition artworks.
