Selling prints from our collection is the society's ONLY revenue stream. The original prints and negatives are currently being stored at a great cost to us monthly until we have a public archives building - the Near Loving’s Bend Library Museum.

ANY PRINTS that are purchased from this site WILL NOT have the SENMHS watermark.

Please credit photos you share online to SENMHS.org/nearlovingsbend.net That's all we ask.

This is a FREE RESOURCE to our community that the society pays the upkeep on to provide Carlsbad, Eddy County and beyond with this invaluable collection of the photos taken by Eddy's early photographers, donated by families, and compiled by Jed Howard.

AUTHORS/WRITERS/PUBLISHERS: Please contact us at Requests to use our photos in your publications.

The Southeastern New Mexico Historical Society requests that photos you share online from our database without the watermark are credited to senmhs.org/nearlovingsbend.net.

You must ask permission to publish any part of our database in print or for profit. Request Permission Here.
