Library Exhibits Kaleidoscope: Selections from Special CollectionsCurated by the entire UTA Libraries Special Collections staff, this exhibit highlights several major focal points of the Special Collections. The archivists and librarians selected documents and/or books from each of their speciality areas to display. Of particular importance to the UTA collection are the Republic of Texas documents that are the foundation of the present State of Texas. Exhibit runs through December 31, 2001. Shaping Texas: The Evolution of a State, 1523-1951The land bordering the northwestern portion of the Gulf of Mexico that became Texas was shown on some of the earliest maps of the New World. This exhibit seeks to provide visual evidence of the evolution of the area from Terra Incognita to the State of Texas. The maps will be on display in the sixth floor Atrium of the Central Library from November 1, 2001, through January 15, 2002. Curated by Kit Goodwin. Call 817-272-5329 for more information. |
