    HURRICANE HARVEY RELIEF EFFORTS Supporting Immigrant Communities Guide to Disaster Assistance Services for Immigrant Houstonians Mayor’s Office of New Americans & Immigrant Communities Mayor’s Office of Public Safety Office of Emergency Management A Message from the City of Houston Mayor’s Office of New Americans and Immigrant Communities To All Houstonians and Community Partners, In the aftermath of a natural disaster of unprecedented proportions, the people of Houston have inspired the nation with their determination, selflessness, and camaraderie. Hurricane Harvey has affected us all deeply, and the road to recovery will surely be a long one. We can find hope, however, in the ways in which Houstonians of all ethnic, racial, national, religious, and socioeconomic backgrounds have come together to help one another. This unity in diversity is one of the things that makes Houston such a special city. Our office is here to offer special support to the thriving immigrant community that forms such an integral part of this city and to help immigrants to address the unique challenges they face in the wake of this natural disaster. For our community partners, we recognize the critical role you play in the process of helping Houstonians recover from the devastating effects of Hurricane Harvey. Non- profit and community-based organizations are on the front lines of service delivery across Houston, and we want to ensure that you have the information and resources you need to help your communities recover. This guide—which will soon be available as an app—provides detailed information about the types of federal, state, and local disaster-assistance services available and where you can go to access those services.

Sarah Canby Jackson, 2015, 2021; Terrin Rivera 2019 – 2021. Citation: [Identification of Item], Harris County Public Library Records, Harris County Archives, Houston, Texas. Agency History: In the fall of 1920 a campaign for library services began for rural Harris County. Under the direction of attorney Arthur B. Dawes with assistance from the Dairy Men’s Association, Julia Ideson, Librarian of the Houston Public Library, I.H. Mowery of Aldine, Miss Christine Baker of Barker, County Judge Chester H. Bryan, Edward F. Pickering, and Rev. Harris Masterson, a citizen’s committee circulated petitions for a county library throughout Harris County. Dawes presented the plans and petitions signed by Harris County qualified voters to the Commissioners Court and, with skepticism, the Commissioners Court ordered a budget of $6500.00 for the county library for a trial period of one year. If the library did not succeed, the Commissioners Court would not approve a budget for a second year. The Harris County Commissioners Court appointed its first librarian, Lucy Fuller, in May 1921, and with an office on the fifth floor of the Harris County Court House, the Harris County Public Library was in operation. At the close of the year, the HCPL had twenty- six library branches and book wagon stations in operation, 3,455 volumes in the library, and 19,574 volumes in circulation.

  • Library Services for the High School Student
    Problems of Urban Universities: Library Services for the High School Student HARDIN CRAIG, JR. AND RICHARD H. PERRINE THE LIBRARY OF A COLLEGE or university situ- ated in a city is often called upon to provide service for members of the community outside the campus limits. Presumably such a library in a small college town would face the same demand, but the degree would he different and the academic community would not be out- numbered by a hundred to one. No one will blame the urban college library for putting the needs of its faculty and student body first, but there is a feeling that it should serve the community as well. No one has put this into the form of an ethical principle, but no modern li- brarian likes to sit as a watch dog on his books; and besides, there is such a thing as good will and community support. Therefore, there are favored classes, and each library must make its own selection: alumni, professional people such as doctors, teachers and ministers, and the research staffs of the laboratories maintained by industry. Undergraduates of other colleges in the same city will hardly be given borrowers’ privileges, nor will high school students, but the question is, shall they be admitted to the library? All users of libraries cost the library something: of course, normal wear and tear on building and books, and (more expensively) the demand upon stafE time necessary to answer questions and locate ma- terials. Beyond this, however, is the question of space, a problem re- cently canvassed by Metcalf with his usual perceptiveness as to the true costs of any library operation: In most libraries the readers and reader services occupy far more space than books.

INTRODUCTION The collections of the Austin History Center contain valuable materials about Austin’s African American communities, although there is much that remains to be documented. The materials in this bibliography are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order. This bibliography is one in a series of updates of the original 1979 bibliography. It reflects the addition of materials to the Austin History Center based on the recommendations and donations of many generous individuals and support groups. The Austin History Center card catalog supplements the online computer catalog by providing analytical entries to information in periodicals and other materials in addition to listing collection holdings by author, title, and subject. These entries, although indexing ended in the 1990s, lead to specific articles and other information in sources that would otherwise be time-consuming to find and could be easily overlooked.

  • Muffled Voices of the Past: History, Mental Health, and HIPAA
    INTERSECT: PERSPECTIVES IN TEXAS PUBLIC HISTORY 27 Muffled Voices of the Past: History, Mental Health, and HIPAA by Todd Richardson As I set out to write this article, I wanted to explore mental health and the devastating toll that mental illness can take on families and communities. Born out of my own personal experiences with my family, I set out to find historical examples of other people who also struggled to find treatment for themselves or for their loved ones. I know that when a family member receives a diagnosis of a chronic mental illness, their life changes drastically. Mental illness affects individuals and their loved ones in a variety of ways and is a grueling experience for all parties involved. When a family member’s mind crumbles, often that person— the brother or father or favorite aunt— is gone forever. Families, left helpless, watch while a person they care for exists in a state of constant anguish. I understood that my experiences were neither new nor unique. As a student of history, I knew that other families’ stories must exist somewhere in the recorded past. By looking back through time, I hoped to shine a light on the history of American mental health policy and perhaps to make the voices of those affected by mental illness heard. Doing so might bring some sense of justice and awareness to the lives of people with mental illness in the present in the same way that history allows other marginalized groups to make their voices heard and reshape the way people perceive the past.
