This document is the compilation of presentations from speakers about historical and contemporary issues surrounding the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo. The 1998 sesquicentennial of the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo offered Chamizal National Memorial the opportunity to commemorate this historic event. With the generous cooperation of the National Archives, the Memorial was able to display the signing pages of the treaty from February 2 to May 30, 1998. The Memorial also hosted a Speakers Series on the Treaty. The material presented during the Speakers Series contributed to the body of knowledge on historical and contemporary issues surrounding the treaty. This booklet is the compilation of the presentations of those speakers. Contributors to the success of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo sesquicentennial activities at Chamizal were many. Among them were staff, National Park Service experts, the El Paso Museum of History, and the National Archives.
