  • The Houston Metropolitan Research Center Don E
    A COOPERATIVE URBAN ARCHIVES PROGRAM: THE HOUSTON METROPOLITAN RESEARCH CENTER DON E. CARLETON The Houston Metropolitan Research Center (HMRC) is an ambitious program to preserve and make available for research documentary materials pertaining to the historical development of the fifth largest city in the United States. HMRC is also a cooperative inter-institutional program which has created an archival network of both an informal and formal nature. The research center, an agency of the Houston Public Library, is now in its eighth year of operation. The center has its own building in downtown Houston and is firmly entrenched in the community, its future reasonably secure. As is the case with most programs, especially those intended to serve as models, the way to secure existence has been strewn with obstacles both large and small. As one who was intimately involved in the first six years of the institution's development, I believe that an examination of the HMRC experience can provide the stuff from which "lessons can be learned" by anyone planning a similar venture. What follows is a very general overview of HMRC as it has been and as it is today. The overview will include some personal and wholly subjective observations about aspects of the HMRC experience that, I hope, will be of some benefit to my fellow participants in this conference on archival networks. I must emphasize that I am no longer associated with HMRC and that the views expressed are completely my own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the research center's present staff.

  • Hispanic Texans
    texas historical commission Hispanic texans Journey from e mpire to Democracy a GuiDe for h eritaGe travelers Hispanic, spanisH, spanisH american, mexican, mexican american, mexicano, Latino, Chicano, tejano— all have been valid terms for Texans who traced their roots to the Iberian Peninsula or Mexico. In the last 50 years, cultural identity has become even more complicated. The arrival of Cubans in the early 1960s, Puerto Ricans in the 1970s, and Central Americans in the 1980s has made for increasing diversity of the state’s Hispanic, or Latino, population. However, the Mexican branch of the Hispanic family, combining Native, European, and African elements, has left the deepest imprint on the Lone Star State. The state’s name—pronounced Tay-hahs in Spanish— derives from the old Spanish spelling of a Caddo word for friend. Since the state was named Tejas by the Spaniards, it’s not surprising that many of its most important geographic features and locations also have Spanish names. Major Texas waterways from the Sabine River to the Rio Grande were named, or renamed, by Spanish explorers and Franciscan missionaries. Although the story of Texas stretches back millennia into prehistory, its history begins with the arrival of Spanish in the last 50 years, conquistadors in the early 16th cultural identity century. Cabeza de Vaca and his has become even companions in the 1520s and more complicated. 1530s were followed by the expeditions of Coronado and De Soto in the early 1540s. In 1598, Juan de Oñate, on his way to conquer the Pueblo Indians of New Mexico, crossed the Rio Grande in the El Paso area.

  • If You Build It, They Will Come
    If You Build It, They Will Come Debra J. Savage INTRODUCTION People who live in cities, small towns, or rural frontiers, all have distinctive requirements for the buildings they choose. What choices are made depend upon a variety of factors: climate, type of soil, access to building materials, cultural and historical values, and aesthetic issues. First settlements use surrounding resources: log cabins in the woods, sod houses on the prairie, mud brick in the desert. More mature areas, with established transportation systems, have access to other resources and more sophisticated tools and can take other aspects into consideration. The proposed use of the building inspires builders to look for other materials, artists to design meaningful clues, architects to design space to be inviting or intimidating, welcoming or forbidding. BACKGROUND Houston had several distinct disadvantages in 1836, the year it was founded. People who read the Allen brothers' advertisements must have been severely disappointed when they first encountered the reality: long, hot summers, small streams, or bayous, of inconsistent navigability, clay soils hard to plow and sow, and an incredible number of small but persistent mosquitoes. Yet there was plenty of land, numerous giant trees to fell, possible trade routes with nice flat land on which to build roads to the larger rivers, a huge underground aquifer, and an optimism probably born from both hope and desperation. How did they make living here tolerable? How did they manage to continue steady growth throughout the past, while other settlements failed? What kinds of living spaces and workspaces did they create that allowed them to live and work and prosper here? These questions are the same all settlements faced in the beginning.
