Our goal is to continue to
expand this website and increase the information and images available
here. We are always looking for additional photographs and
artifacts from Hobbs' past and we need your help. Much of the
history of Hobbs has been captured in photographs that are now in the
hands of its citizens, often passed down from one generation to the
next.
If you have old photographs, postcards, magazine articles, books, yearbooks, advertising items or anything else that others might like to look at on this site, please contact us. We don't need to keep your item--we can borrow it, make a scan for the website, and return it within a day or two. We
are
especially
interested
in
any
items from the Hobbs Army Air Field, early oilfield photographs, early sports photographs and old photos of Hobbs businesses. For more information
