Collection of Dallas morning news negatives and copy photographs

A Guide to the Collection


Overview

Creator: DeGolyer Library
Title: Collection of Dallas morning news negatives and copy photographs
Inclusive Dates: circa 1950-1984
Abstract: During the 1950s, historian Homer DeGolyer (1892-1963) received permission to microfilm a portion of the photographic files of the Dallas Morning News. Eventually, many of the original photographs that DeGolyer microfilmed were either destroyed or given away by the Dallas Morning News in 1977 in an effort to conserve space. In 1984 the DeGolyer Library commissioned Andy Reisberg of Flying Horse Photography to make copy negatives from the microfilm reels. These copy negatives with an accompanying print compose the present collection. This collection of Dallas historical photographs is organized by subject and includes the written descriptions appearing on the original microfilm.

Historical Note

The Dallas Morning News developed from the Galveston News, which was founded in 1842 by Samuel Bangs. By 1879 Alfred H. Belo, who had acquired control of the business, was investigating the possibility of establishing a sister paper in rapidly developing North Texas. When efforts to purchase the old Dallas Herald failed, Belo sent George Bannerman Dealey to launch a new paper, the Dallas Morning News, which began publication on October 1, 1885.

Linked across 315 miles by telegraph, and sharing a network of correspondents across the state, the Dallas Morning News and the Galveston News were the first two newspapers in the country to publish simultaneous editions. From the outset the Dallas paper enjoyed the double advantage of strong financial support and an accumulation of journalistic experience. From its parent paper, the Dallas News inherited the concept of being a state paper and of refraining from becoming the organ of any political party.

Beginning with a circulation of 5,000, the Dallas News soon absorbed its major competitor, the Herald (not to be confused with the Dallas Times Herald). It immediately leased a special train on the Texas and Pacific Railway to carry papers to Fort Worth, and in 1887 it engaged a special train on the Houston and Texas Central to deliver papers to McKinney, Sherman, and Denison on the morning they were printed. This expediency enabled the paper to meet the threat of the St. Louis newspapers, which in 1885 had a larger circulation in North Texas than did any state paper. By 1888 the News was printing an eight to twelve page edition daily and sixteen pages on Sunday. Its circulation reached 17,000 by 1895. In 1914 the News launched an evening paper, the Dallas Journal, which was sold in 1938. It also published the Semi-Weekly Farm News from 1885 until 1940.

Scope and Contents of the Collection

Homer DeGolyer was a Texas historian and President of Southwest Microfilm Company of Dallas. Upon DeGolyer’s death in 1963, his papers and hundreds of reels of microfilm were donated to the DeGolyer Library at Southern Methodist University (named for Homer’s brother, E.L. DeGolyer, Sr.). Included among the reels of microfilm donated to the library were the four reels of film containing selected photographs from the files of the Dallas Morning News.

During the 1950s, historian Homer DeGolyer (1892-1963) received permission to microfilm a portion of the photographic files of the Dallas Morning News. Eventually, many of the original photographs that DeGolyer microfilmed were either destroyed or given away by the Dallas Morning News in 1977 in an effort to conserve space. DeGolyer, in filming these early Dallas records, was one of the first to recognize the value of microfilm to photographic preservation.

In 1984 the DeGolyer Library commissioned Andy Reisberg of Flying Horse Photography to make copy negatives from the microfilm reels. These copy negatives with an accompanying print compose the present collection. The collection is organized by subject, with the exception of the last miscellaneous section. Includes are written descriptions appearing on the original microfilm. Where the description on the image is illegible or missing, as complete a description as possible is provided. In some instances, the description on the negative may be inaccurate. Researchers who have the correct information are encouraged to contact the DeGolyer with updates to this guide.

Many of these images are useful for information value, but they may not be appropriate quality for reproduction.
