Created in 1977 by the Executive Committee of the Texas Chapter of the American Planning Association (APA), The History of Planning in Texas Project is a valuable resource for students and educators alike. With the support of Chapter president Bruce McClendon, the project obtained permanent financial support and oversight from the APA's Education Foundation in 1979. The project's focus was to create a record of the experiences of planners from around Texas. Robert Cornish, chapter historian, began the project by focusing on nine metropolitan areas: Austin, Beaumont, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Galveston, Houston and San Antonio.

Mr. Cornish ran the project from 1979 until 1994. During this period he was director to Texas A&M's Department of Urban and Regional Planning. Mr. Cornish traveled Texas recording oral history interviews with well known state and local planners and educators. With the assistance of colleagues and students from Texas A&M, Mr. Cornish collected transcripts and supporting historical documentation on the history of planning from each of the nine metropolitan areas. Cornish also is the author of several creative works in the archive.

The History of Planning in Texas Project archives were donated to The University of Texas at Austin by the American Planning Association in 1995 and are housed in the Alexander Architectural Archive. The American Planning Association has continued to send materials for the collection since its initial donation.

 Scope and Content of the collection

Primary resources include transcriptions, monographs and documentation relating to the history of planning in nine metropolitan areas: Austin, Beaumont, Corpus Christi, Dallas, El Paso, Fort Worth, Galveston, Houston, and San Antonio. Accompanying materials include original recordings on twelve cassette tapes and transcriptions saved on 5.25” and 3.5” computer diskettes. The computer diskettes contain transcriptions saved in numerous formats, some unknown.

Supporting documentation includes historical readings, reports, planning documents, color slides and various other materials related to each of the nine metropolitan areas included in the project. Some published reports have been transferred to the Architectural and Planning Library's circulating collection.

Also included in the archive are teaching materials from the American Planning Association's Short Course for city officials. Records of the project's financial history, and correspondence between parties involved in the project are located in the archive as well.

Series includes interview transcriptions and related correspondence and reference materials, E.D. 489U/Plan 489A syllabus (Texas A&M, class taught by McGraw and Hinojosa, 1983), student works, reports, drafts, pre-prints and reprints of conference papers and journal articles, notes, charts, memos, clippings, reference materials, a small quantity of black and white and color photos. The archive has maintained what we believe to be the original order, reflecting Robert Cornish's organization of reference items and his intermingling of students' works with his research materials and own creative works. Some dates and spelling of names are inconsistent; the archive normalized these incidents in which the information was known. Of note are what appears to be copies of University of Texas Professor Hugo Leipziger-Pearce's own correspondence, reference files, and creative works, with some items annotated for Cornish's use.
