New Mexico State University history professor Jamie L. Bronstein, Ph.D., will share the New Mexico Historic Preservation Division’s (HPD) 2021 heritage publication award with Durwood Ball, Ph.D., of the New Mexico Historical Review.

Bronstein and Ball will receive the award during a May 21 online ceremony hosted by the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs (DCA).
