NEWS FROM THE CORPORATE ARCHIVES

Juan B. "Abie" Jojola
The first of five Sandians to serve as pueblo governors, Juan B. "Abie" Jojola was Isleta Pueblo Governor in 1964.

We invite you to see Sandia: More Than A Career, our new exhibit now on display in the lobby of Building 800 and at the Credit Union on Juan Tabo. The display illustrates the ways Sandia enriches the lives of its employees beyond career boundaries--through long-lasting friendships, marriages, public service, education, entertainment, clubs, and sports. Did you know there is a Sandia couple who shares the same service date --they met at the new-hire orientation and later married? The immediate members of one family have over 158 years of combined service! There have been many Sandians in public service and several are highlighted in the exhibit. For example, it is remarkable that five Sandians have served as Pueblo governors and another Sandian ran for state governor. One employee wrote an autobiography about her career at Sandia and another poetry about his work and co-workers. Many Sandians perform together in plays and musical groups while others enjoy sports and clubs. Sandians weave their professional activities into their social lives and vice versa--thus proving that working at Sandia is much "More Than A Career."

We are happy to announce that about 300 Corporate Archives collections are now included in the Technical Library's classified catalog. One of our newest contributions came from retired Vice President Dan Hartley whose records are a valuable addition to our Combustion Research Facility collection. If you have reference questions or materials to donate to the Corporate Archives, please call Archivist Myra O'Canna at 844-6315.

CORPORATE ARCHIVES STILL PHOTO COLLECTION

The Corporate Archives Still Photo Collection database continues its rapid increase. Archives Assistant Shirley Morris has indexed approximately 75,000 negatives.

Shirley attended an Adobe Photoshop class that will enhance her work on the revised Archives Homepage (under construction). She also attended the "Preserving New Mexico's Historical Records" workshop at the New Mexico State Archives in Santa Fe, where she learned techniques on how to repair torn pages, custom make boxes, encapsulate historical documents, and related topics.

When you are in need of photographs, you can access the C-Quest Database or call Shirley at 844-7404 for particular photographs in the Corporate Archives Still Photo Collection.
