So much of our history has been lost through years of administrative changes, building renovation, floods.  The University Archives is in the process of trying to reclaim as much of our history as possible. 

If you have records, memorabilia, photographs, or other items that relate to Southwest Texas State Normal School, Southwest Texas Teachers College, or Southwest Texas State University, Archives staff looks forward to talking with you.   

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

Items we're currently seeking:

• Any SWT publications dating prior to 1970 are of particular interest, including Pedagogs and course catalogs.
• Photographs of people and places – especially when the subjects are identified.
• Invitations to and programs for University events:  Lectures, convocations, picnics, unveilings, etc.
• Official University Christmas cards.

This list is only a sample of items we hope to discover.  We are happy to evaluate any items that may have historical significance.
