state without a State Health Department, and thus without a vital
records/health statistics component. The Spanish influenza epidemic which
hit New Mexico in 1918, and World War I combined to make the need for such
apparent. For example, without a centralized, public health related
compilation of death information, it was impossible to evaluate the
influenza emergency. Thus in 1919 a State board of Health was created, and
the first unit created was that of Vital Records and Health Statistics,
which would govern the reporting of births and deaths and the disposal,
disinterment and transportation of the dead. Birth and death records prior
to 1919 were collected by a variety of institutions which were not
health-related, including counties and churches. For the most part these
records are not available from New Mexico Vital Records and Health
Statistics. |
