In Memoriam
Dr. Terry Reynolds
April 7, 1940 - August 5, 2023
Dr. Terry Reynolds was a prolific researcher of the Amador family and a long-time collaborator with the NMSU Library Archives and Special Collections. She was a gifted ethnohistorian and cultural anthropologist. Her research and writing on the Amador family has profoundly informed the work on the Amador Family Correspondence Digitization Project. Dr. Reynolds left behind a significant collection of documents and writings on the Amadors, as well as her other research papers, that are now a part of the NMSU Library Archives and Special Collections. Our work on this project is dedicated to her memory.
