“Land and Buildings: As part of its mission the Corrales Historical Society is charged with maintaining the historic San Ysidro Church and its surrounding property, but the village government owns the building and estate. As such, the Society receives in-kind donations from the village that covers some maintenance costs. In fiscal 2020 those donations totaled $5,111 for utilities expense.”

“Other Assets: Historical archives including maps, photographs, oral and written histories, censuses, genealogical data, surveys and newspapers are valued at $58,000 but are not capitalized or held for financial gain.”
