Seeking New Mexico Third District Court Records

Dear Ms. Armstrong,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located 6 record series created by New Mexico. District Court (3rd Judicial District) in the Records of District Courts of the United States (Record Group 21) that include records from 1888 and/or 1889. These records are in the custody of the National Archives at Denver (RM-DV). For more information, please contact RM-DV via email at denver.archives@nara.gov.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from RM-DV. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.

We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
