Items we're currently seeking:

• SWT publications dating prior to 1970, including select Pedagogs and course catalogs.
• Photographs of people and places, especially when the subjects are identified.  Of particular interest are pre-1970 photographs of building interiors (such as classrooms and auditoriums) and early 20th-Century panoramic photographs of the campus community.
• Invitations to and programs for University events - including lectures, performances, convocations, picnics, unveilings, and sporting events.
• Official University Christmas / holiday cards.
• Select historical artifacts such as freshman beanies, pledge beanies, school pennants, and class rings. 

The University Archivists would like to talk with individuals who may be willing to donate records, memorabilia, photographs, or other items that relate to the history of Southwest Texas State Normal School (1903-1918), Southwest Texas State Normal College (1918-1923), Southwest Texas Teachers College (1923-1959), Southwest Texas State College (1959-1969), or Southwest Texas State University (1969-2003). 

University departments, offices, employees:

Any department, office, employee, or past employee who discovers “old” university records may have uncovered part of the history we want to document. Presidential and provost correspondence, building records, student organizations, and photographs of people and places on campus are highly desired. Please contact the Archives to schedule an appraisal if you discover any records with potential historical value.
