Martha Norkunas holds a PhD in folklore from Indiana University’s Folklore Institute
and authored the book, The Politics of Public Memory: Tourism,
History, and Ethnicity in Monterey, California, in 1993. A faculty member
at the University of Texas, she teaches an interdisciplinary graduate course
focusing on memory and history as well as social and cultural issues. In 1999, she
developed the course as a part of the Project in Interpreting the Texas Past (ITP)
in collaboration with the Intellectual Entrepreneurship Program.
ITP concentrates on illuminating Texas history, particularly in regard to the
histories of women and minority groups, through research, interpretation, and
presentation. Over its lifetime, the project has produced award winning films,
exhibits, educational material, posters, brochures, and online exhibits. The program
is a partnership between the University of Texas College of Liberal Arts, College of
Fine Arts, College of Communication, and the School of Information as well as
several Texas foundations and community organizations, including Texas Parks and
Wildlife. Prior history topics have dealt with Winedale, the Varner-Hogg Plantation
State Park, the Neil-Cochran House Museum, Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm, Penn
Farm, and the George Washington Carver Museum. Norkunas and her students have also
conducting oral history projects focusing on African-Americans and women in Austin,
Texas.

Correspondence, student materials, CDs, DVDs, audiocassettes, videocassettes, printed
materials, and research materials compose the Martha Norkunas Oral and Public
History Collection, 1998-2009, and chronicle Norkunas’ involvement with the Project
in Interpreting Texas Past (ITP). The collection contains extensive research files
and student work produced in conjunction with the projects, such as brochures,
websites, exhibits, and films. A large portion of the collection deals with the
Varner-Hogg Plantation State Park and Winedale, while the remainder concerns the
Neil-Cochran House Museum, Sauer-Beckmann Living History Farm, Penn Farm, and the
George Washington Carver Museum, among other institutions with which Norkunas and
ITP worked. Comprising biographies, notes, reports, CDs, and proposals, the Austin
Women’s Commemorative Project files document the work of Norkunas and project
interns to gather information on women for the development of a Austin Women’s
History Trail.
