Gloria Montoya Chavez (Box 1, Folder 35)
Gloria Montoya Chavez, student, administrator and activist is a native New Mexican.
Chavez earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in University Studies at the University of
New Mexico and began graduate studies in Public Administration. Chavez became active
in the Chicano Movement as a student. In her tenure at the University of New Mexico,
Chavez worked at Chicano Studies and Chicano Student Services, also known as
Hispanic Student Services from 1977 to 1989. In addition, Chavez worked as a
community activist and founded the Estudiantes por la Cultura on the University of
New Mexico campus and acted as the advisor to United Mexican American Students
(UMAS) organization when it was reinstated in 1987. Chavez had an active role in the
regional organizing of Jesse Jackson’s Rainbow Coalition and was invited to be
present in South Carolina at the announcement of Jackson’s candidacy. Chavez also
served as a recruiter, activity coordinator and supervisor at the University of New
Mexico’s Upward Bound Program from 1990 to 2005.

3 series: Personal Papers; Activism and Community Involvement; University of New
Mexico Materials
The Gloria Montoya Chavez Papers contain articles, clippings, classroom materials,
correspondence, subject files, photographic materials, and video recordings. The
material documents Chavez’s activist role in the Chicano Movement, as well as her
career as an administrator. The bulk of this collection concerns UNM Chicano Studies
and Chicano Student Services, also known as Hispanic Student Services. The
collection is arranged in three series:
Personal Papers includes some biographical information,
certificates of appreciation, letters of support, records of travels in Mexico and
general correspondence.
Activism and Community Involvement is comprised largely
of press clippings of various race/ethnic political concerns, such as police
brutality, the Albuquerque Riot, the Poor People’s Campaign, the Chamizal Treaty,
Reies Lopez Tijerina, and civil right movements in general. Original materials
(non-press clippings) include a collection of statements regarding charges of police
brutality at Stacey’s Supper Club in Ranchitos, New Mexico (27 August 1971). There
are also statements regarding the Pete Garcia trial in Silver City, New Mexico,
including a book of notes taken at the trial (author unknown). Garcia was on trial
for the March 1969 shooting death of Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Sergeant Julian
Narvaez. After three jury trials, Garcia was convicted of voluntary manslaughter in
1971 and fled to Mexico. Gloria Montoya Chavez’s participation in Jesse Jackson’s
New Mexico Rainbow Coalition is also represented in this series.
University of New Mexico Materials is divided into 2
subseries: Chicano Studies and Chicano Student Services and Other UNM Materials.
Chicano Studies and Chicano Student Services was also known as Hispanic Student
Services.
The Chicano Studies and Chicano Student Services subseries contains administrative
and special event programming materials, as well as a photo collection (including
slides) documenting UNM Chicano Studies and Chicano Student Services (also known as
Hispanic Student Services). These photos show students, staff, faculty, and some
notable celebrities associated with Chicano Studies and Chicano Student Services
(also known as Hispanic Student Services) events, such as Reies Lopez Tijerina,
Edward James Olmos, and Jesse Jackson. Slides document University of New Mexico
events and performances, activities of the Brown Berets in Denver and the
Albuquerque South Valley, anti-WIPP demonstrations in Carlsbad, New Mexico, and
Teatro Campesino. A video collection for the documentary "Searching," which was
developed under Gloria Montoya Chavez’s direction, provides a visual documentary
history of ethnic and women’s studies at UNM, from 1965 to 1985. This video
collection also documents the history of UNM Chicano Studies and Chicano Student
Services (also known as Hispanic Student Services).
Other UNM Materials include notes and minutes from the UNM Presidential Advisement
Committee, the UNM Staff Committee, and the UNM Ethnic and Women’s Coalitions. Some
pedagogical materials are included, in particular related to Chicano/a and Native
American students. These materials incorporate counseling and training manuals,
articles and bilingual education documents.
