New Mexico Modern is a research archive built by historians committed to documenting the state's modern architectural heritage. We catalog buildings, architects, and the movements that shaped them, treating each entry as a piece of verified history rather than a passing feature. Our work spans the entire state, from downtown Albuquerque high-rises to residential neighborhoods and small-town landmarks that rarely get the recognition they deserve.

Every entry in our archive begins with research, not assumption. We verify dates, attributions, and architectural details against primary sources, historical records, and existing scholarship before anything is published. Each piece is signed by the historian who researched it, because we believe documentation should be accountable to a name, not anonymous. The result is an archive built to be trusted and used, not just browsed.

We collaborate with historians, architects, preservationists, and the institutions that hold the records this work depends on, including local archives, universities, and historical societies across New Mexico. We also welcome contributions from anyone with direct knowledge of a building's history, a family connection to an architect, or documentation that could deepen an existing entry.
