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.

  • Barton Springs Segment of the Edwards (Balcones Fault Zone) Aquifer, Central Texas
    OLD G The Geological Society of America Memoir 215 OPEN ACCESS Barton Springs segment of the Edwards (Balcones Fault Zone) Aquifer, central Texas Brian B. Hunt Brian A. Smith Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conservation District, Austin, Texas 78748, USA Nico M. Hauwert Balcones Canyonland Preserve, City of Austin, Austin Water, Wildland Conservation Division, Austin, Texas 78738, USA ABSTRACT The Barton Springs segment of the Edwards (Balcones Fault Zone) Aquifer is a prolifi c karst aquifer system containing the fourth largest spring in Texas, Barton Springs. The Barton Springs segment of the Edwards Aquifer supplies drinking water for ~60,000 people, provides habitat for federally listed endangered salamanders, and sustains the iconic recreational Barton Springs pool. The aquifer is composed of Lower Cretaceous carbonate strata with porosity and permeability controlled by dep- ositional facies, diagenesis, structure, and karstifi cation creating a triple permeability system (matrix, fractures, and conduits). Groundwater fl ow is rapid within an inte- grated network of conduits discharging at the springs. Upgradient watersheds pro- vide runoff to the recharge zone, and the majority of recharge occurs in the streams crossing the recharge zone. The remainder is direct recharge from precipitation and other minor sources (infl ows from Trinity Group aquifers, the San Antonio segment, the bad-water zone, and anthropogenic sources). The long-term estimated mean water budget is 68 ft3/s (1.93 m3/s). The Barton Springs/Edwards Aquifer Conserva- tion District developed rules to preserve groundwater supplies and maximize spring fl ow rates by preserving at least 6.5 ft3/s (0.18 m3/s) of spring fl ow during extreme drought.

  • Technical Note Select Springs of the Austin Area: Descriptions And
    technical note Select Springs of the Austin Area: Descriptions and Associated Hydrogeology Alan J. Cherepon Introduction While Austinites are well aware of the most famous springs in the city, Barton Springs, few, including many geologists, are aware of the huge number of springs and seeps that grace the city. The City of Austin estimates over 700 such features (City of Austin database, unpublished). While impossible to address every one of them, representatives of the major spring types in the various rock and sediment units are presented herein. These springs are not described in the important work titled Springs of Texas (Brune, 2002), nor are they currently found in the internet-based Texas Water Development Board’s Groundwater Database (TWDB, 2012). A generalized geologic map is provided as Figure 1. Below the Edwards is the Walnut and Glen Rose Formations, which form the stair-stepped alternating beds of less-resistant marls and more- resistant limestones and dolomites. Springs in this formation appear in the western portion of the Austin area. Above the Edwards Group is the Georgetown Formation, which is combined with the Kainer and Person Formations to comprise the Edwards Aquifer in the Austin area. Above the Edwards Group is the Buda, Austin Chalk, and Colorado River Terrace Deposits, all of which include springs or seeps addressed in this summary. Each of the springs and associated hydrogeologic units (except for a combined Edwards) will be presented stratigraphically from oldest to youngest. Figure 1 indicates by letters where the springs identified in this paper are located. The springs were chosen for the following reasons: • Accessibility (both permission-wise and relative ease of getting to it in most weather conditions) • Clear, impressive exposure of the rock units, or the best for that unit • Classic stratigraphic characteristics for the units • Adequate spring flow • Additional interesting information Volume 4—Austin Geological Society Bulletin—2010 25 Figure 1.

President Connie Hicks led the members through a brief business meeting, highlighting the charter members of PBKAAGA who were able to be present: Lissa Anderson, Kay Braziel, Don Flournoy, Patricia Hall, Martha McKay Jones, Barbara Myers, Joyce Pulich, Ken Ralls, and Beverly Shivers. The keynote speaker, Austin Ligon, gave an inspiring talk about how his liberal arts education prepared him for very different phases of his career - work as a health economist, an independent financial consultant, a senior consultant at Boston Consulting Group, a strategic planner at the Marriott Corporation, a founder of CarMax, and in his current role as an angel investor with a number of interesting startups, including Redfin. His love of learning and his broad background served him well in his wide-ranging career. Sponsors of this year’s scholarships were thanked for their support: Platinum Level ($2500 scholarship), Gold level ($1000), Silver Level ($500), and Bronze Level ($250). Members of the Scholarship Committee then presented the scholarship awards to this year's winners: Melissa Wolter, Jenny Lu, Helen He, and Danika Luo.
