Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection consists of job work records and printing samples, mostly yearbooks and programs of various East Texas religious, civic, and cultural organizations.



Some particularly interesting items include:



The collection includes two phone directories for Nacogdoches in 1919 and 1920. These directories can be used to determine which individuals and businesses used telephones in Nacogdoches and also how far telephone services reached out into the rural areas. The business advertisements also provide insight to which goods and services Nacogdoches citizens enjoyed in the early twentieth-century.



The Stephen F. Austin’s Woman’s Athletic Association’s handbook and the Texas Athletic Federation of College Women convention program illustrates the importance of female enrollment to the University during the 1930s and some recreation opportunities college women participated in.



“The fundamental Faith and Doctrine of those called Missionary Baptists” allows researchers to understand the Missionary Baptist faith in the early-twentieth-century. Using this source, individuals can also compare the doctrine and organization of Missionary Baptists in the 1900s to the present.



The “Hello Buddy” comic book educated children about World War II and service men’s actions during the conflict. After the War, many veterans could not find work, and unemployed and disabled veterans distributed these comic books to earn money until they found full-time jobs.



The Fields Brothers Song Sheet includes the lyrics to six songs that reflect on the Great Depression and soldiers’ experiences in World War II. These songs illustrate aspects of popular culture, specifically for men, during the 1940s and how Americans reacted to the pressures of the Great Depression and World War II.
