H-FedHist promotes the study and broad understanding of the history of the United States Federal Government and to serve as the voice of the federal historical community.
I am looking for panelists for a session on the U.S. - Mexico Borderlands. The panel would address collections that are not accessible to the public or not easily found. In 2013 or so we found the original copper plates of the 1850s border surveys in the International Boundary and Water Commission warehouse in El Paso. I would like to talk about that and other documents we found.
