Dr. Thomas M. Hatfield, then Dean of Continuing Education at the University of Texas at Austin, founded Learning Activities for Mature People (UT LAMP) in 1989. UT LAMP, an on-going education program for people over 55 housed at the Thompson Conference Center at the University of Texas at Austin, encourages senior citizens to participate in classroom and social activities. Volunteers perform all administrative, technical and infrastructure support functions.
Correspondence, minutes, audiocassettes, business and financial records, photographs, and reports comprise the UT LAMP (Learning Activities for Mature People) Records, 1989-2010, and reflect the administrative and creative history of this on-going education organization for senior citizens. The papers contain the business and financial records of the organization, including committee meeting minutes, correspondence, membership directories, calendars, newsletters, bylaws and reports, both financial and technical. The audiocassettes contain speeches given by visiting lecturers. Additionally the records contain vita, papers, and correspondence from these speakers.
The collection is open for research use.
