Route 66 Photographic Survey and Exhibit

Welcome to the Route 66 Photographic Survey and Exhibit!

This digital exhibit is the direct result of the Route 66 Photographic Survey and Documentary Project and the Center for Southwest Research and Special Collections “Life and Times on New Mexico Route 66”.

The Route 66 Photographic Survey and Documentary Project was completed between August 2013 and May 2015 by Donatella Davanzo, with funding from the Center for Regional Studies at the University of New Mexico.  The photographic survey documents all structures existing on Albuquerque, New Mexico’s stretch of Route 66 during that period.

From September 2016 through December 2016, the Center for Southwest Research and Special Collections celebrated the 90th anniversary of Route 66 (1926-2016) with a lecture series and “Life and Times on New Mexico Route 66” exhibit.

Currently, this digital exhibit includes an interactive map of the Route 66 Photographic Survey and Documentary Project’s images and a photo gallery of the “Life and Times on New Mexico Route 66” exhibit.
