HSR was created in 1972…
…During the dawn of salvage archaeology and matured in the world of cultural resource management. Curiosity for exploration, wonderment of discovery, and passion for the preservation of southern New Mexico’s cultural heritage have fueled its endeavors.
Human Systems Research stands apart from other organizations because, as a nonprofit corporation, HSR is mission-based rather than existing for the financial benefit of owners or shareholders. The mission-based programs of Research, Public Education, and Preservation have been inextricably intertwined throughout HSR’s history. Now, as we celebrate our 36th anniversary, we want to share some of the stories and lessons learned from our adventures.
