  • Mexican American Resource Guide: Sources of Information Relating to the Mexican American Community in Austin and Travis County
    MEXICAN AMERICAN RESOURCE GUIDE: SOURCES OF INFORMATION RELATING TO THE MEXICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY IN AUSTIN AND TRAVIS COUNTY THE AUSTIN HISTORY CENTER, AUSTIN PUBLIC LIBRARY Updated by Amanda Jasso Mexican American Community Archivist September 2017 Austin History Center- Mexican American Resource Guide – September 2017 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of the Austin History Center is to provide customers with information about the history and current events of Austin and Travis County by collecting, organizing, and preserving research materials and assisting in their use so that customers can learn from the community’s collective memory. The collections of the AHC contain valuable materials about Austin and Travis County’s Mexican American communities. The materials in the resource guide are arranged by collection unit of the Austin History Center. Within each collection unit, items are arranged in shelf-list order. This guide is one of a series of updates to the original 1977 version compiled by Austin History staff. It reflects the addition of materials to the Austin History Center based on the recommendations and donations of many generous individuals, support groups and Austin History Center staff. The Austin History Center card catalog supplements the Find It: Austin Public Library On-Line Library Catalog by providing analytical entries to information in periodicals and other materials in addition to listing individual items in the collection with entries under author, title, and subject. These tools lead to specific articles and other information in sources that would otherwise be very difficult to find. It must be noted that there are still significant gaps remaining in our collection in regards to the Mexican American community.

A crucial piece of this vision has been to make more visible to an international audience the rich research collections concerning Jews in the vari- ous archives and libraries on the Austin campus. We have prepared this guide to promote the use of these resources by both students and scholars based not only in Austin, but also elsewhere in the United States and around the world. Someone not familiar with the University of Texas may find astonishing the depth, breadth, and importance of these materials. Available for research are resources like the papers of Jewish writers, including Isaac Bashevis Singer, Arthur Miller, and Nor- man Mailer, local history collections of the Texas Jewish Historical Society, exten- ROBERT H.
