In 2006, after the donation of archival materials related to the military service of Lance Corporal Nicholas Perez, Sue Soy of the Austin History Center was approached by the leadership of Tejanos in Action to create an exhibit about the contributions of Mexican American veterans. The idea was expanded to include all military veterans in the Austin/Travis County area. A steering committee was formed from the leadership of various veterans' groups to begin the process of collecting documentary materials for an archival collection and exhibit. Included on this committee were Dan Arellano as chairperson and David Jaso, both of Tejanos in Action, Mike London of Jewish War Veterans, Joe Ramos of Catholic War Veterans, Dawn Mata of Texas Women Veterans, and Olie Pope of Travis Co. Veterans Services, along with AHC staff Sue Soy and Steve Schwolert. A biographical information form was created and distributed to veterans through the members of the committee soliciting archival materials and information regarding military service. These forms, along with photographs and other documentary materials were then donated to the Austin History Center and were compiled into this collection. Materials were gathered from veterans as far back as World War II and as recently as the Iraq War (Gulf War II). These materials were combined with other materials already in Austin History Collection collections to create the exhibit "Veterans of Austin and Travis County: Service and Sacrifice" which ran between July 16, 2007 and January 11, 2008.
Return to the Table of Contents
The bulk of the collection consists of materials pertaining to individuals that served in the United States Armed Services and veteran's organizations. There are approximately 35 biographical forms on individual veterans which include their dates of service, branch, deployment information, rank and family status, and information regarding their civilian careers. In addition to these forms are photographs, correspondence, digital and VHS video, digitized oral histories, publications and periodicals related to military service, photographs of some of the individual veterans and the veterans groups to which they belong, including photos of various special events related to these groups. The materials include information on veterans' experiences as far back as World War II and as recent as the Iraq War (Gulf War II), with experiences in the wars in Korea, Vietnam and Desert Storm (Persian Gulf War 1991) and peace time also included.
The City and County Materials series include the City of Austin Mayor's Proclamation for the Austin and Travis County Veterans "Service and Sacrifice" exhibit at the Austin History Center. In addition there are proclamations and event promotions from the Travis County Veterans Service Office.
The remaining materials in the collection are the audio and visual oral history recordings created in conjunction with the documentary KLRU Presents: The World, The War and Texas and the Library of Congress Veterans Oral History Project. Transcripts from Library of Congress Veterans History Project recordings are housed with the materials of the individual veterans with the exception of the two civilian experience oral history transcripts of Emma Browning and Margaret Doggett Crow. There are no transcripts for the KLRU Presents: The World, The War and Texas oral history DVDs.
Photographs and textual materials digitized for display in the exhibit are available on the Image server (I:\Archives\Archival Collections\AR.2007.007) and additional information about the individual images is available on the Visual Resources Database (VRDB). While this collection was originally created to collect documentary materials for the "Veterans of Austin and Travis County: Service and Sacrifice" exhibit donations within the scope of this collection continue to be added to the collection.
