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.
